Hearing loss affects more than speech—it often leads to listening-related stress and cognitive-communication challenges due to increased effort in complex environments. This SIG 7 activity reviews two studies: one by Lander and Roup (2024) showing adults with mild TBI and hearing difficulties face greater cognitive strain and poorer speech-in-noise performance; and another by Sarangi and Johnson (2024) exploring wearable sensors to measure stress responses in difficult listening conditions. Together, these findings highlight the need for both subjective and physiological tools to better support individuals with auditory or neurological vulnerabilities.Learning
Outcomes
You will be able to:
- Identify the cognitive-communication difficulties commonly reported by
individuals with mild traumatic brain injury and hearing difficulties, especially
in challenging listening environments.
- Evaluate the potential of wearable sensors to objectively measure listening-related stress through physiological markers such as heart rate and respiration.
