Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech. Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen.
