Predictors of entering a hearing aid evaluation period: a prospective study in older hearing-help seekers (2017)
Journal Article

This study aimed to determine the predictors of entering a hearing aid evaluation period (HAEP) using a prospective design drawing on the health belief model and the transtheoretical model. In total, 377 older persons who presented with hearing probl... Read More about Predictors of entering a hearing aid evaluation period: a prospective study in older hearing-help seekers.

Relations between self-reported daily-life fatigue, hearing status and pupil dilation during a speech perception in noise task (2017)
Journal Article

Objective: people with hearing impairment are likely to experience higher levels of fatigue due to effortful listening in daily communication. This hearing-related fatigue might not only constrain their work performance, but also result in withdrawal...

Impact of stimulus-related factors and hearing impairment on listening effort as indicated by pupil dilation (2017)
Journal Article

Previous research has reported effects of masker type and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on listening effort, as indicated by the peak pupil dilation (PPD) relative to baseline during speech recognition. At about 50% correct sentence recognition perform... Read More about Impact of stimulus-related factors and hearing impairment on listening effort as indicated by pupil dilation.

Unilateral versus bilateral hearing aids for bilateral hearing impairment in adults (2017)
Journal Article

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of bilateral versus unilateral hearing aids in adults with a bilateral hearing impairment.

Effects of hearing impairment and hearing aid amplification on listening effort - a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article

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 addressed: Q1) does hearing impairment affect listening effort? and...
