Recently, the measurement of the pupil dilation response has been applied in many studies to assess listening effort. Meanwhile, the mechanisms underlying this response are still largely unknown. We present the results of a method that separates the...

Pupil light reflex evoked by light-emitting diode and computer screen: methodology and association with need for recovery in daily life (2018)
Journal Article

Pupil light reflex evoked by light-emitting diode and computer screen: methodology and association with need for recovery in daily life. PLoS ONE, 13(6), Article e0197739. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0197739

Objectives: Pupil light reflex (PLR) has been widely used as a method for evaluating parasympathetic activity. The first aim of the present study is to develop a PLR measurement using a computer screen set-up and compare its results with the PLR gene...

Impact of SNR, masker type and noise reduction processing on sentence recognition performance and listening effort as indicated by the pupil dilation response (2018)
Journal Article
Ohlenforst, B., Wendt, D., Kramer, S. E., Naylor, G., Zekveld, A. A., & Lunner, T. (2018). Impact of SNR, masker type and noise reduction processing on sentence recognition performance and listening effort as indicated by the pupil dilation response. Hearing Research, 365, 90-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2018.05.003

Recent studies have shown that activating the noise reduction scheme in hearing aids results in a smaller peak pupil dilation (PPD), indicating reduced listening effort, at 50% and 95% correct sentence recognition with a 4-talker masker. The objectiv... Read More about Impact of SNR, masker type and noise reduction processing on sentence recognition performance and listening effort as indicated by the pupil dilation response.

The application of pupillometry in hearing science to assess listening effort (2018)
Journal Article
Naylor, G., Koelewijn, T., Zekveld, A. A., & Kramer, S. E. (2018). The application of pupillometry in hearing science to assess listening effort. Trends in Hearing, 22, 1-3. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216518799437

In recent years, the fields of Audiology and Cognitive Sciences have seen a burgeoning of research focusing on the assessment of the effort required during listening. Among approaches to this question, the pupil dilation response has shown to be an i... Read More about The application of pupillometry in hearing science to assess listening effort.
