A Dutch version of a dual-task paradigm for measuring listening effort: a pilot study regarding its short-term test-retest reliability

, 2021
Objective: This study investigated the short-term test-retest reliability of a Dutch dual-task (DT) paradigm for measuring listening effort. Listening effort refers to the attention and cognitive resources necessary for understanding speech and can ...

Audiovisual realization of the subjective listening effort measurement method ACALES

, 2020
Speech intelligibility can be positively influenced by the combination of auditory and visual speech information. Not only do people with hearing difficulties benefit from the additional information provided by the mouth image, but also those with normal

Listening Effort in School-Aged Children With Limited Useable Hearing Unilaterally: Examining the Effects of a Personal, Digital Remote Microphone System and a Contralateral Routing of Signal System

Trends in Hearing, 2021
Technology options for children with limited hearing unilaterally that improve the signal-to-noise ratio are expected to improve speech recognition and also reduce listening effort in challenging listening situations, although previous studies have not ...

The impact of a speaker’s voice quality on auditory perception and cognition: a behavioral and subjective approach

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
IntroductionOur voice is key for conveying information and knowledge to others during verbal communication. However, those who heavily depend on their voice, such as teachers and university professors, often develop voice problems, signaled by hoarseness.

Hebrew Digits in Noise (DIN) Test in Cochlear Implant Users and Normal Hearing Listeners

Audiology Research
This study aimed to compare the Hebrew version of the digits-in-noise (DIN) thresholds among cochlear implant (CI) users and their normal-hearing (NH) counterparts, explore the influence of age on these thresholds, examine the effects of early auditory ...

Exposure to nonnative-accented speech reduces listening effort and improves social judgments of the speaker

Scientific Reports, 2023
Prior research has revealed a native-accent advantage, whereby nonnative-accented speech is more difficult to process than native-accented speech. Nonnative-accented speakers also experience more negative social judgments.

Subjective Listening Effort and Electrodermal Activity in Listening Situations with Reverberation and Noise [PDF]

Trends in Hearing, 2016
Disturbing factors like reverberation or ambient noise can impair speech recognition and raise the listening effort needed for successful communication in daily life. Situations with high listening effort are thought to result in increased stress for the listener.

From patient advocacy to patient‐driven research: Building active partnerships beginning at the bench to reach the bedside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Research is strongest when conducted alongside patients, not just about them. Patient research organizations help integrate patient perspectives into research priorities, study design, and scientific meetings, leading to meaningful patient outcomes and development of relevant therapies.
