Speech intelligibility performance while wearing three different hearing protective devices

Evidence is found that utilizing passive flat-attenuating ER-20 earplugs, and active flat-attenuating MP9-15 earplugs provide better speech understanding in noise for normal hearing listeners.

Subjective Listening Effort in Adult Cochlear Implant Users: Insights From the Listening Effort Questionnaire.

The highest listening effort was experienced in situations with low sound quality, while the lowest effort was experienced in situations involving speech perception in quiet and lipreading, and the LEQ appears to be suitable for measuring adult cochlear implant users' subjective listening effort in daily life.

Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids and Listening Effort: A Pupillometry Study

Background: Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids are designed to improve speech understanding for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. However, challenging listening environments often require substantial effort to process speech, potentially limiting communication and contributing to stress or fatigue. Despite...

The Intelligibility-Based Repeat-Recall Test: II. Performance of Listeners With Normal Hearing and Hearing Impairment (Aided).

OBJECTIVES To gather normal-hearing (NH) reference data for an intelligibility-based Repeat-Recall Test (i-RRT) against which to compare the performance of hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. DESIGN A single-blind, within-subjects design involving 20 NH and 19 HI adult listeners who performed the i-RRT protocol in two s...

A Nordic cohort study on cochlear implants and binaural hearing in single-sided deafness.

ObjectivesTo evaluate the effects of cochlear implantation on speech recognition in noise, sound localization, QoL, and tinnitus in adults with SSD. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up included 12 adults with SSD who underwent cochlear implantation between 2015 and 2024 at...
