The Effect of Hearing Loss and Hearing Device Fitting on Fatigue in Adults: A Systematic Review (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: To conduct a systematic review to address two research questions: (Q1) Does hearing loss have an effect on fatigue? (Q2) Does hearing device fitting have an effect on fatigue? It was hypothesized that hearing loss would increase fatigue... Read More about The Effect of Hearing Loss and Hearing Device Fitting on Fatigue in Adults: A Systematic Review.

Daily-Life Fatigue in Mild to Moderate Hearing Impairment: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: Previous research has indicated an association between hearing impairment (HI) and daily-life fatigue. However, the temporal and contextual correlates of such fatigue are largely unexplored. The present study used ecological momentary...
