Behavioral Measures of Listening Effort in School-Age Children: Examining the Effects of Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Hearing Loss, and Amplification
Material type:
TextSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Increased listening effort in school-age children with hearing
loss (CHL) could compromise learning and academic achievement.
Identifying a sensitive behavioral measure of listening effort for this
group could have both clinical and research value. This study examined
the effects of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), hearing loss, and personal
amplification on 2 commonly used behavioral measures of listening
effort: dual-task visual response times (visual RTs) and verbal response
times (verbal RTs).
