Listening effort and accented speech [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Understanding spoken language requires mapping acoustic input onto stored phonological and lexical representations. Speech tokens, however, are notoriously variable: they fluctuate within speakers, across speakers, and in different acoustic environments. As listeners, we must therefore perceive speech in a manner flexible enough to accommodate acoustic

Effects of Digital Noise Reduction Processing on Subjective and Objective (Pupillometry) Assays of Listening Effort [PDF]
Audiology ResearchBackground/Objectives: Although research has demonstrated the positive impacts of hearing aid (HA) digital noise reduction (DNR), limited research is available on the impacts of the strength of DNR on listening effort. This study evaluated the effects of

Listening effort and fatigue among cochlear implant users: a scoping review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionIn challenging listening situations, speech perception with a cochlear implant (CI) remains demanding and requires high levels of listening effort, which can lead to increased levels of listening-related fatigue.

Cochlear-Implant Simulated Signal Degradation Exacerbates Listening Effort in Older Listeners. [PDF]
Ear Hear, 2023 Objectives: Individuals with cochlear implants (CIs) often report that listening requires high levels of effort. Listening effort can increase with decreasing spectral resolution, which occurs when listening with a CI, and can also increase with age.
