Key, Alexandra P.; Gustafson, Samantha J.; Rentmeester, Lindsey; Hornsby, Benjamin W. Y.; Bess, Fred H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: Fatigue related to speech processing is an understudied area that may have significant negative effects, especially in children who spend the majority of their school days listening to classroom instruction. Method: This study examined the feasibility of using auditory P300 responses and behavioral indices (lapses of attention and…

Bess, Fred H.; Davis, Hilary; Camarata, Stephen; Hornsby, Benjamin W. Y. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2020
Purpose: Listening-related fatigue is an understudied construct that may contribute to the auditory, educational, and psychosocial problems experienced by children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL). Herein, we present an overview of listening-related fatigue in school-age children with hearing loss (CHL), with a focus on children with UHL.…

Hornsby, Benjamin W. Y.; Naylor, Graham; Bess, Fred H. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Fatigue is common in individuals with a variety of chronic health conditions and can have significant negative effects on quality of life. Although limited in scope, recent work suggests persons with hearing loss may be at increased risk for fatigue, in part due to effortful listening that is exacerbated by their hearing impairment. However, the…

Bess, Fred H.; Gustafson, Samantha J.; Hornsby, Benjamin W. Y. – Grantee Submission, 2014
Teachers and parents have long believed that children with hearing loss (CHL) are at increased risk for fatigue. CHL may be physically and mentally "worn out" as a result of focusing so intently on a teacher's speech and on conversations with other students. Moreover, increased listening effort, stress, and subsequent fatigue could…

Bess, Fred H.; Gustafson, Samantha J.; Corbett, Blythe A.; Lambert, E. Warren; Camarata, Stephen M.; Hornsby, Benjamin W. Y. – Grantee Submission, 2016
Objectives: It has long been speculated that effortful listening places children with hearing loss at risk for fatigue. School-age children with hearing loss experiencing cumulative stress and listening fatigue on a daily basis might undergo dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity resulting in elevated or flattened…

Bess, Fred H.; Hornsby, Benjamin W. Y. – Grantee Submission, 2014
Fatigue is a common phenomenon in our society, and it can have a major impact on an individual's performance and wellbeing. Parents and teachers have long believed that children with hearing loss (CHL) are at increased risk for fatigue. One could easily speculate that toward the end of a school day, CHL may be "physically and mentally…

Bess, Fred H.; Hornsby, Benjamin W.Y. – Grantee Submission, 2014
Anecdotal reports of fatigue after sustained speech-processing demands are common among adults with hearing loss; however, systematic research examining hearing loss-related fatigue is limited, particularly with regard to fatigue among children with hearing loss (CHL). Many audiologists, educators, and parents have long suspected that CHL…
