Exploring short-term memory and listening effort in two-talker conversations: The influence of soft and moderate background noise. [PDF]
PLoS ONEListening to conversations and remembering their content is a highly demanding task, especially in noisy environments. Previous research has mainly focused on short-term memory using simple cognitive tasks with unrelated words or digits.

Acoustically Transparent Hearing Aids Increase Physiological Markers of Listening Effort [PDF]
Trends in HearingWhile hearing aids are beneficial in compensating for hearing loss and suppressing ambient noise, they may also introduce an unwanted processing burden to the listener's sensory and cognitive system. To investigate such adverse side effects, hearing aids

A Clinical Paradigm for Listening Effort Assessment in Middle-Aged Listeners [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Listening effort (LE) has been known to characterize speech recognition in noise regardless of hearing sensitivity and age. Whereas the behavioral measure of dual-task paradigm effectively manifests the cognitive cost that listeners exert when processing speech in background noise, there is no consensus as to a clinical procedure that might best ...

Speech recognition in noise task among children and young-adults: a pupillometry study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionChildren experience unique challenges when listening to speech in noisy environments. The present study used pupillometry, an established method for quantifying listening and cognitive effort, to detect temporal changes in pupil dilation ...

Listening effort and fatigue among cochlear implant users: a scoping review
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.

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

Listening Effort and Cognitive Decline: An Exploratory Study Using Pupillometry [PDF]
, 2019 For today’s ageing population, hearing loss and dementia prevalence are expected to increase. Recent research suggests that hearing loss is the highest modifiable risk factor for dementia in midlife.
