Title: Investigating In-Situation Benefits of Hearing Aids in Complex Listening Environments
Overview: The intersection of speech perception, cognition, and hearing aid use has become particularly relevant as the United States aging population increases. The purpose of this investigation was to investigate the in-situation benefits of hearing aids to in- and off-domain cognitive tasks in a variety of listening conditions. Subjective task-related effort and fatigue was also examined as it related to the task conditions.
Learner Outcomes: Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
• Describe the impact of wearing hearing aids on cognitive tasks in various listening environments.
• Identify the role of working memory in complex listening environments for older adults with hearing loss.
• Discuss the subjective task-related effort and fatigue of older adults with hearing loss in various listening conditions.
