Subjective Listening Effort and Electrodermal Activity in Listening Situations with Reverberation and Noise [PDF]

Trends in Hearing, 2016
Disturbing factors like reverberation or ambient noise can impair speech recognition and raise the listening effort needed for successful communication in daily life. Situations with high listening effort are thought to result in increased stress for the listener.

The effect of reverberation on listening effort

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
The current study investigates whether long reverberation increases listening effort during speech recognition. Listening effort during word recognition in multi-talker babble noise was assessed with or without high levels of reverberation. A dual-task paradigm was adopted, in which the primary task was word recognition in noise at individually ...

Measuring the efficiency of listening effort

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023
Listening effort is a commonly reported difficulty among those who have hearing loss. This project aims to operationalize the concept of effort precision, as the ability to engage or disengage mental resources at strategic times could be an important signature of a person’s capacity to guard against wasted effort.

Dichotic listening performance and listening effort for asymmetrical inputs

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Binaural hearing typically improves speech understanding in difficult listening situations. Cochlear-implant (CI) recipients seek to gain binaural hearing benefits through bilateral implantation. However, the standard of care is currently sequential implantation, possibly with a long difference in the duration of deafness between the ears.

Listening effort and speech intelligibility in listening situations affected by noise and reverberation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014
This study compared the combined effect of noise and reverberation on listening effort and speech intelligibility to predictions of the speech transmission index (STI). Listening effort was measured in normal-hearing subjects using a scaling procedure.

Objective extraction of dynamical listening effort profiles

2015 7th International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering (NER), 2015
In complex listening environments, people with hearing loss have an increased listening effort to achieve a similar speech understanding level as normal hearing people. However, a standardized method to estimate this listening effort does not exist.

Dynamic allocation of listening effort when listening to speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Measuring listening effort is an essential part of understanding the communication ability of a person with hearing loss. In this study, we are using pupillometry to measure how listener effort changes over the course of an utterance, in cases where the listener has reason to allocate effort earlier or later in time.

Visual Cues and Listening Effort: Individual Variability

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose To investigate the effect of visual cues on listening effort as well as whether predictive variables such as working memory capacity (WMC) and lipreading ability affect the magnitude of listening effort. Method Twenty participants with normal hearing were tested using a ...

The Implications of Cognitive Aging for Listening and the Framework for Understanding Effortful Listening (FUEL)

Ear & Hearing, 2016
This review article considers some of the age-related changes in cognition that are likely to interact with hearing, listening effort, and cognitive energy. The focus of the review is on normative age-related changes in cognition; however, consideration is also given to older adults who experience clinically significant deficits in cognition, such as ...

Adjusting listening effort relative to expected value of listening

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Listening effort is a commonly reported difficulty among those who have hearing loss. A person’s ability to engage or disengage mental resources at strategic times could be an important signature of a person’s capacity to guard against wasted effort. This experiment gave listeners an opportunity to voluntarily reduce effort at specific moments based on
