TI  - Influence of Cochlear Implant Use on Perceived Listening Effort in Adult and 
      Pediatric Cases of Unilateral and Asymmetric Hearing Loss.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: Assess the influence of cochlear implant (CI) use on the perceived 
      listening effort of adult and pediatric subjects with unilateral hearing loss 
      (UHL) or asymmetric hearing loss (AHL). STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort. 
      SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Adults and children with UHL or AHL. 
      INTERVENTION: Cochlear implantation. Subjects received their CI as part of a 
      clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implantation in cases of 
      UHL and AHL. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Responses to the Listening Effort pragmatic 
      subscale on the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ) or SSQ for 
      Children with Impaired Hearing (SSQ-C) were compared over the study period. 
      Subjects or their parents completed the questionnaires preoperatively and at 
      predetermined postactivation intervals. For the adult subjects, responses were 
      compared to word recognition in quiet and sentence recognition in noise. RESULTS: 
      Forty adult subjects (n = 20 UHL, n = 20 AHL) and 16 pediatric subjects with UHL 
      enrolled and underwent cochlear implantation. Subjects in all three groups 
      reported a significant reduction in perceived listening effort within the initial 
      months of CI use (p < 0.001; eta2 >/= 0.351). The perceived benefit was significantly 
      correlated with speech recognition in noise for the adult subjects with UHL at 
      the 12-month interval (r(20) = .59, p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Adult and pediatric 
      CI recipients with UHL or AHL report a reduction in listening effort with CI use 
      as compared to their preoperative experiences. Use of the SSQ and SSQ-C Listening 
      Effort pragmatic subscale may provide additional information about a CI 
      recipient's experience beyond the abilities measured in the sound booth.
