Listening fatigue is a common experience for hearing aid and hearing implant users. It occurs when it’s necessary to listen to speech for long periods in difficult listening situations: background noise, echo, multiple people talking at the same time, a lack of lip-reading cues. Listening in such environments requires more effort because the listener has to fill in the gaps in the auditory message that they miss due to the noise. This increased listening effort can lead to listening fatigue.
