There is mounting evidence to support the premise that children with hearing loss (CHL) are at increased risk for listening-related fatigue and its associated sequelae. This article provides an overview of the construct of listening-related fatigue in CHL, its importance, possible academic and psychosocial consequences, and recommendations for the identification and management of fatigue associated with pediatric hearing loss.

Development of measures to assess listening-related effort and fatigue in daily life among hearing aid users: protocol for a quantitative field trial.
BMJ Open

Introduction: Individuals with hearing loss and hearing aid users report higher levels of listening effort and fatigue in daily life compared with those with normal hearing. However, there is a lack of objective measures to evaluate these experiences in real-world settings. Recent studies have found that higher sound pressure levels (SPL) and lower signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) are linked to increased heart rate and decreased heart rate variability, reflecting the greater effort required to process auditory information.

Participation in complex listening situations such as group conversations in noisy environments sets high demands on the auditory system and on cognitive processing. Reports of hearing-impaired people indicate that strenuous listening situations occurring throughout the day lead to feelings of fatigue at the end of the day. The aim of the present study was to develop a suitable test sequence to evoke and measure listening effort (LE) and listening-related fatigue (LRF), and, to evaluate the influence of hearing aid use on both dimensions in mild to moderately hearing-impaired participants.

Purpose: Listening-related fatigue (LRF) is a prominent topic of research interest. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the 40-item Vanderbilt Fatigue Scale for Adults (TR-VFS-A-40).
Method: This study included 317 adults with no hearing loss and 260 adults with hearing loss in the study group, totaling 577 adults aged 18-75 years.
Predictors of Listening-Related Fatigue in Adolescents With Hearing Loss.

Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Knoxville.
Purpose: Self-reported listening-related fatigue in adolescents with hearing loss (HL) was investigated. Specifically, the extent to which listening-related fatigue is associated with school accommodations, audiologic characteristics, and listening breaks was examined.
Method: Participants were 144 adolescents with HL ages 12-19 years.
Mood shapes the impact of reward on perceived fatigue from listening.

Knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of effortful listening could help to reduce cases of social withdrawal and mitigate fatigue, especially in older adults. However, the relationship between transient effort and longer term fatigue is likely to be more complex than originally thought. Here, we manipulated the presence/absence of monetary reward to examine the role of motivation and mood state in governing changes in perceived effort and fatigue from listening.
