Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing impaired individuals often report feeling fatigue at the end of the day. These individuals are forced to exert more cognitive effort throughout the day as they strain to understand speech in an ever-changing auditory environment through an impaired/degraded auditory system (Rabbitt, 1991). Today's digital hearing aids attempt to increase audibility and relieve cognitive strain through advanced signal processing techniques such as digital noise reduction (DNR). Recent research regarding noise and its effects on auditory fatigue in hearing impaired listeners suggests that DNR may reduce the effects of auditory fatigue (Sarampalis et al, 2009). The overarching goal of a future project is to understand the effectiveness of DNR in reducing listening effort and ways to quantify it. The present study sought to determine if reaction time alone is an accurate measure of auditory fatigue while isolating listening fatigue as a sole factor. Twenty young adults with normal hearing participated. Testing consisted of three parts: pre-test, fatigue inducing condition, and post-test. Pre- and post- tests consisted of a reaction time task using nonsense syllables and a subjective listening questionnaire. The overall reaction time in the post-fatiguing condition was higher than the pre-fatiguing condition. A one sample t test revealed no significant difference between the pre and post fatiguing condition reaction time for overall nonsense syllables and consonant final nonsense syllables. Pre- and post-fatiguing reaction time was significantly different for consonant initial nonsense syllables only. Results indicated that the 30 minute fatigue inducing condition did not affect reaction time in the post-tests for overall nonsense syllables and for consonant final nonsense syllables. This could be due to several factors. The reaction time task used in this study may not be an accurate measure of listening effort or the 30 minutes of effortful listening may not have been enough. The subjective listening effort questionnaire showed that subjects did feel more fatigued after the post-test than after the pre-test. Future studies are planned to expand upon the current study by assessing individuals with hearing loss as well as those exposed to longer duration of noise throughout the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue can have a major impact on an individual's performance and well-being, yet is poorly understood, even within the scientific community. There is no developed theory of its origins or functions, and different types of fatigue (mental, physical, sleepiness) are routinely confused. The widespread interpretation of fatigue as a negative consequence of work may be true only for externally imposed goals; meaningful or self-initiated work is rarely tiring and often invigorating. In the first book dedicated to the systematic treatment of fatigue for over sixty years, Robert Hockey examines its many aspects - social history, neuroscience, energetics, exercise physiology, sleep and clinical implications - and develops a new motivational control theory, in which fatigue is treated as an emotion having a fundamental adaptive role in the management of goals. He then uses this new perspective to explore the role of fatigue in relation to individual motivation, working life and well-being.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effect of listening fatigue on the reaction time of young, normal hearing listeners at +5 and +10 dB signal to noise ratio. Reaction time was measured in a single task paradigm on twenty listeners (ages 19-30 years) before and after a fatigue-inducing listening task. The participants also completed a subjective rating questionnaire at the two intervals. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between the reaction times before and after listening fatigue. However, for a subgroup of stimuli (nonsense syllables ending with consonants) the reaction time was 52 msec longer after listening fatigue. The participants also rated significantly higher level of fatigue on the rating scale after being exposed to the listening task. Additionally, the reaction time for +5 dB signal-to-noise ratio was significantly longer than the reaction time for +10 dB. Findings from this study demonstrated that using a single-task reaction time measure, it is possible to evaluate the effect of listening effort (e.g. identifying speech stimuli at increasing difficult signal to noise ratios), but not for evaluating the effect of listening fatigue.
