Degraded acoustic signals can make hearing difficult for anyone, but differences in cognitive abilities, age-related changes, and the use of cochlear implants may exacerbate the problem. If it is more challenging to hear, it is also exhausting to communicate.

Kristina DeRoy Milvae discussed the results of two experiments that examined impacts on listening effort.
