Accumulating evidence points to a link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive
decline, but their relationship is not clear. Does one cause the other, or does some third …

Objectives: To undertake a systematic review of available evidence on the effect of hearing
impairment and hearing aid amplification on listening effort. Two research questions were …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of age, hearing loss,
and cognitive ability on the cognitive processing load during listening to speech presented …

Objectives: This study measured the impact of auditory spectral resolution on listening effort.
Systematic degradation in spectral resolution was hypothesized to elicit corresponding …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sentence intelligibility on
the pupil dilation response during listening. Task-induced pupil-dilation reflects explicit …

Purpose This work is aimed at addressing a seeming contradiction related to the use of
noise-reduction (NR) algorithms in hearing aids. The problem is that although some …

A common complaint among listeners with hearing loss (HL) is that they have difficulty
communicating in common social settings. This article reviews how normal-hearing listeners …

Objectives: To maintain optimal understanding, persons with sensorineural hearing loss
(SNHL) often report a need for increased attention, concentration, and “listening effort” …

Cognitive Hearing Science or Auditory Cognitive Science is an emerging field of
interdisciplinary research concerning the interactions between hearing and cognition. It …

Ecological validity is a relatively new concept in hearing science. It has been cited as
relevant with increasing frequency in publications over the past 20 years, but without any …
