Listening effort (LE) describes the cognitive resources needed to process an auditory
message. Our understanding of this notion remains in its infancy, hindering our ability to …

Speech-recognition tests are an important component of audiology. However, the
development of such tests can be time consuming. The aim of this study was to investigate …

Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the involvement of listening effort among
multilinguals in their first (L1) and second (L2) languages in quiet and noisy listening …

Introduction Due to having to work with an impoverished auditory signal, cochlear-implant
(CI) users may experience reduced speech intelligibility and/or increased listening effort in …

In speech audiometry, the speech-recognition threshold (SRT) is usually established by
adjusting the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) until 50% of the words or sentences are repeated …

Realistic outcome measures that reflect everyday hearing challenges are needed to assess
hearing aid and cochlear implant (CI) fitting. Literature suggests that listening effort …

The current review examines listening effort to uncover how it is implicated in bilingual
performance under adverse listening conditions. Various measures of listening effort …

Changing the balance between the early and late reflections in the impulse response affects
the clarity of speech, and also the spatial perception of the sound source is affected when …

Purpose: This study examined the extent to which acoustic, linguistic, and cognitive task
demands interactively impact listening effort. Method: Using a dual-task paradigm, on each …

Objectives: Everyday listening environments are filled with competing noise and distractors.
Although significant research has examined the effect of competing noise on speech …
