Previous Mental Load and Incentives Influence Anticipatory Arousal as Indexed by the Baseline Pupil Diameter in a Speech-in-Noise Task

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2023
Listening effort and fatigue are common experiences when conversing in noisy environments. Much research has investigated listening effort in relation to listening demand using the speech-in-noise paradigm.

Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Listening Effort in Young Children with Cochlear Implants

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2021
Very early bilateral implantation is thought to significantly reduce the attentional effort required to acquire spoken language, and consequently offer a profound improvement in quality of life.

Benefit of binaural listening as revealed by speech intelligibility and listening effort [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
In contrast to the well-known benefits for speech intelligibility, the advantage afforded by binaural stimulus presentation for reducing listening effort has not been thoroughly examined. This study investigated spatial release of listening effort and its relation to binaural speech intelligibility in listeners with normal hearing.

Cortical alpha oscillations in cochlear implant users reflect subjective listening effort during speech-in-noise perception.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Listening to speech in noise is effortful for individuals with hearing loss, even if they have received a hearing prosthesis such as a hearing aid or cochlear implant (CI).

Absorption and Enjoyment During Listening to Acoustically Masked Stories

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2020
Comprehension of speech masked by background sound requires increased cognitive processing, which makes listening effortful. Research in hearing has focused on such challenging listening experiences, in part because they are thought to contribute to ...

Measures of Listening Effort Are Multidimensional

open access: yesEar and Hearing, 2019
Listening effort can be defined as the cognitive resources required to perform a listening task. The literature on listening effort is as confusing as it is voluminous: measures of listening effort rarely correlate with each other and sometimes result in contradictory findings.

Impact of Different Speech Types on Listening Effort [PDF]

open access: yesInterspeech 2018, 2018
Listeners are exposed to different types of speech in everyday life, from natural speech to speech that has undergone modifications or has been generated synthetically. While many studies have focused on measuring the intelligibility of these distinct speech types, their impact on listening effort is not known.

Listening Effort in Tinnitus: A Pilot Study Employing a Light EEG Headset and Skin Conductance Assessment during the Listening to a Continuous Speech Stimulus under Different SNR Conditions

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Background noise elicits listening effort. What else is tinnitus if not an endogenous background noise? From such reasoning, we hypothesized the occurrence of increased listening effort in tinnitus patients during listening tasks.

Listening Effort Informed Quality of Experience Evaluation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Perceived quality of experience for speech listening is influenced by cognitive processing and can affect a listener's comprehension, engagement and responsiveness. Quality of Experience (QoE) is a paradigm used within the media technology community to assess media quality by linking quantifiable media parameters to perceived quality.

Speech Recognition and Listening Effort in Cochlear Implant Recipients and Normal-Hearing Listeners

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The outcome of cochlear implantation is typically assessed by speech recognition tests in quiet and in noise. Many cochlear implant recipients reveal satisfactory speech recognition especially in quiet situations. However, since cochlear implants provide
