The Effect of Age on Listening Effort
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of age on listening effort. Method A dual-task paradigm was used to evaluate listening effort in different conditions of background noise. Sixty adults ranging in age from 20 to 77 years were included.

Dichotic listening performance and listening effort for asymmetrical inputs
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018Binaural 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.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022
Listening effort refers to the use of working memory and/or attentional resources to understand speech. In the current study, it was hypothesized that electrophysiological measures of listening effort, specifically oscillatory power in the alpha (8–12 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) frequency bands, would be affected by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), reflecting ...

Listening Effort and Speech Perception Performance Using Different Facemasks.
Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2022PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the effect of eight different facemasks on speech perception and listening effort in listeners with normal hearing (NH) and hearing loss by manipulating both mask type and background noise levels.

Measuring the efficiency of listening effort
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023Listening 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.

Dynamic allocation of listening effort when listening to speech
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018Measuring 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.

Speech intelligibility and listening effort in every-day listening situations
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017Noise and reverberation affect speech intelligibility and increase listening effort. The impact is more severe for hearing-impaired listeners than for normal-hearing listeners and might lead to less social interactions, and reduced quality of life. While lab experiments are well controlled to get reliable outcomes, every-day listening situations are ...

Developing objective measures of listening effort.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009The goal of the present work is to develop valid measures of listening effort independent of task difficulty. Various markers of effort will be measured for listening conditions of varying difficulty but with equal performance. The experimental task will involve tracking a previously specified keyword(s) in a speech sample.

Eye track, you listen: Listening effort in cochlear implant users
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaCochlear Implant (CI) users can experience mental fatigue from the listening effort needed to process the degraded speech information delivered by the implant. Listening effort is unique to the individual CI user and may provide insight into the strengths and weaknesses of real-world speech communication. To analyze listening effort, an eye tracker lab

Adjusting listening effort relative to expected value of listening
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaListening 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
