This review examines findings from functional neuroimaging studies of speech recognition
in noise to provide a neural systems level explanation for the effort and fatigue that can be …

Objective: There is growing interest in the concepts of listening effort and fatigue associated
with hearing loss. However, the theoretical underpinnings and clinical meaning of these …

Listening effort may be reduced when hearing aids improve access to the acoustic signal.
However, this possibility is difficult to evaluate because many neuroimaging methods used …

Objective: Hearing loss may increase listening-related effort and fatigue due to the
increased mental exertion required to attend to, and understand, an auditory message …

Background There is no standard treatment pathway for tinnitus patients in the UK. Possible
therapies include education and reassurance, cognitive behavioural therapies, modified …

Objective: People with hearing impairment are likely to experience higher levels of fatigue
because of effortful listening in daily communication. This hearing-related fatigue might not …

Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the laboratory efficacy and
real-world effectiveness of advanced directional microphones (DM) and digital noise …

Objectives: To identify patient-reported barriers and facilitators to using smartphone-
connected hearing aids, using the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) to understand …

Age-related hearing loss is one of the most prevalent health conditions in older adults.
Although hearing aid technology has advanced dramatically, a large percentage of older …

Hearing loss in the extended high frequencies, despite a normal audiogram, could affect
speech-in-noise recognition. However, it is not known if extended high frequency (EHF) …
