A taxonomy of fatigue concepts and their relation to hearing loss (2016)
Journal Article

Fatigue is common in individuals with a variety of chronic health conditions and can have significant negative effects on quality of life. Although limited in scope, recent work suggests persons with hearing loss may be at increased risk for fatigue,... Read More about A taxonomy of fatigue concepts and their relation to hearing loss.

Theoretical issues of validity in the measurement of aided speech reception threshold in noise for comparing nonlinear hearing aid systems (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Adaptive Speech Reception Threshold in noise (SRTn) measurements are often used to make comparisons between alternative hearing aid (HA) systems. Such measurements usually do not constrain the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which testing...

Hearing impairment and cognitive energy: the Framework for Understanding Effortful Listening (FUEL) (2016)
Journal Article

The Fifth Eriksholm Workshop on “Hearing Impairment and Cognitive Energy” was convened to develop a consensus among interdisciplinary experts about what is known on the topic, gaps in knowledge, the use of terminology, priorities for future research,...

Parasympathetic nervous system dysfunction, as identified by pupil light reflex, and its possible connection to hearing impairment (2016)
Journal Article

Context Although the pupil light reflex has been widely used as a clinical diagnostic tool for autonomic nervous system dysfunction, there is no systematic review available to summarize the evidence that the pupil light reflex is a sensitive method...
