How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Introduction
I am currently working on the ALFi project in collaboration with Eriksholm research Centre. The aim is to investigate physiological indices that can be used to assess listening fatigue during daily life in hearing aid users.

Objectives: Visual and contextual cues facilitate speech recognition in suboptimal listening conditions (e.g., background noise, hearing loss, hearing aid signal processing). Moreover, successful speech recognition in challenging listening conditions is linked to cognitive abilities such as working memory and fluid intelligence. However, it is uncl...

The aim of the current study was to investigate whether task-evoked pupillary responses measured during encoding, individual working memory capacity and noise reduction in hearing aids were associated with the likelihood of subsequently recalling an item in an auditory free recall test combined with pupillometry. Participants with mild to moderatel...
Despite the evidence of a positive relationship between task demands and listening effort, the Framework for Understanding Effortful Listening (FUEL) highlights the important role of arousal on an individual’s choice to engage in challenging listening tasks. Previous studies have interpreted physiological responses in conjunction with behavioral re...
Objectives:
Communication requires cognitive processes which are not captured by traditional speech understanding tests. Under challenging listening situations, more working memory resources are needed to process speech, leaving fewer resources available for storage. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of task difficulty pre...
Objective: In the present study, we investigated whether varying the task difficulty of the Sentence-Final Word Identification and Recall (SWIR) Test has an effect on the benefit of noise reduction, as well as whether task difficulty predictability affects recall. The relationship between working memory and recall was examined.
Design: Task difficu...
This study investigates the effects of background noise and nosie reduction on recall of intelligible speech in noise. It also investigates the effect of task difficulty on the cognitive benefit of nosie reduction as well as whether knowing task difficulty in advance has an effect on recall.
