Eye movements decrease during effortful speech listening

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2023
AbstractPupillometry is the most used objective tool to assess listening effort but has several disadvantages. The current study explores a new, objective way to assess listening effort through eye movements. Building on cognitive and neurophysiological work, we examine the hypothesis that eye movements decrease when speech listening becomes ...

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.

Measuring Listening Effort [PDF]

open access: yesEar & Hearing, 2014
The dual-task paradigm has been widely used to measure listening effort. The primary objectives of the study were to (1) investigate the effect of hearing aid amplification and a hearing aid directional technology on listening effort measured by a complicated, more real world dual-task paradigm and (2) compare the results obtained with this paradigm to

A Clinical Paradigm for Listening Effort Assessment in Middle-Aged Listeners [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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 ...

Effect of speaker age on speech recognition and perceived listening effort in older adults with hearing loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Published online January 2012Purpose: Older adults exhibit difficulty understanding speech that has been experimentally degraded. Age-related changes to the speech mechanism lead to natural degradations in signal quality.

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.

Progress in learning French vocabulary in a one-year advanced course at school [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This article reports on vocabulary learning in French during Year 12 by 150 pupils in 15 English comprehensive schools. Vocabulary progress over two school terms was investigated in the context of learner strategy training that targeted listening and ...
