The benefits of combining a cochlear implant (CI) and a hearing aid (HA) in opposite ears on
speech perception were examined in 15 adult unilateral CI recipients who regularly use a …

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 …

An adaptive procedure for controlling the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when rating the
subjectively perceived listening effort (Adaptive Categorical Listening Effort Scaling) is …

This study compared the combined effect of noise and reverberation on listening effort and
speech intelligibility to predictions of the speech transmission index (STI). Listening effort …

Purpose Subjective ratings of listening effort might be applicable to estimate hearing
difficulties at positive signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) at which speech intelligibility scores are …

Purpose This study aims to investigate the listening effort made by young children in real
classrooms during a prolonged speech reception task in the presence of background noise …

This study addresses the issue of an enhanced acoustical design of rooms for speech,
which besides targeting high speech intelligibility also ensures minimal effort in speech …

Listening to the audio of TV broadcast signals can be challenging for hearing-impaired as
well as normal-hearing listeners, especially when background sounds are prominent or too …

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of different spatial noise-processing
algorithms in hearing aids on listening effort and memory effort on a subjective, behavioral …

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 …
