Effortful listening under the microscope: Examining relations between pupillometric and subjective markers of effort and tiredness from listening [PDF]

Psychophysiology, 2020
AbstractEffort during listening is commonly measured using the task‐evoked pupil response (TEPR); a pupillometric marker of physiological arousal. However, studies to date report no association between TEPR and perceived effort. One possible reason for this is the way in which self‐report effort measures are typically administered, namely as a single ...

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

Frontiers 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

Memory performance on the Auditory Inference Span Test is independent of background noise type for young adults with normal hearing at high speech intelligibility [PDF]

, 2014
Listening in noise is often perceived to be effortful. This is partly because cognitive resources are engaged in separating the target signal from background noise, leaving fewer resources for storage and processing of the content of the message in ...

An Auditory-Perceptual and Pupillometric Study of Vocal Strain and Listening Effort in Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia

Applied Sciences, 2020
This study evaluated ratings of vocal strain and perceived listening effort by normal hearing participants while listening to speech samples produced by talkers with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD).

Measures of Listening Effort Are Multidimensional

Ear 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.

Moderate Reverberation Does Not Increase Subjective Fatigue, Subjective Listening Effort, or Behavioral Listening Effort in School-Aged Children

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
Background noise and reverberation levels in typical classrooms have negative effects on speech recognition, but their effects on listening effort and fatigue are less well understood.

The effect of informational load on disfluencies in interpreting: a corpus-based regression analysis [PDF]

, 2016
This article attempts to measure the cognitive or informational load in interpreting by modelling the occurrence rate of the speech disfluency uh(m). In a corpus of 107 interpreted and 240 non-interpreted texts, informational load is operationalized in ...

Listener effort for highly intelligible tracheoesophageal speech [PDF]

Journal of Communication Disorders, 2012
The purpose of this study was to determine whether: (a) inexperienced listeners can reliably judge listener effort and (b) whether listener effort provides unique information beyond speech intelligibility or acceptability in tracheoesophageal speech. Twenty inexperienced listeners made judgments of speech acceptability and amount of effort required to ...

Insights into perceived listening difficulties post COVID-19 infection: no measurable hearing difficulty on clinical tests despite increased self-reported listening effort

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
ObjectiveThe aim was to use a battery of clinic-based auditory assessment procedures to compare participants with and without self-reported hearing difficulties following a confirmed COVID-19 infection.

Relations between self-reported daily-life fatigue, hearing status and pupil dilation during a speech perception in noise task [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: people with hearing impairment are likely to experience higher levels of fatigue due to effortful listening in daily communication. This hearing-related fatigue might not only constrain their work performance, but also result in withdrawal ...
