Background • Listening effort is defined as the cognitive resources necessary to understand speech.

Background • Listening effort is defined as the cognitive resources necessary to understand speech. • Limited resource capacity theory. • When listening effort is increased, fewer cognitive resources are available. Kahneman, 1973 Picou et al. , 2013

Aim • What is the effect of tinnitus on listening effort in SSNHL patients?

Aim • What is the effect of tinnitus on listening effort in SSNHL patients? Ø Single-sided hearing Ø Under background noise or not 6

Material and Method • • Criteria of SSNHL Healthy contralateral ear: AC within 25

Material and Method • • Criteria of SSNHL Healthy contralateral ear: AC within 25 d. B Age: 16 – 65 y/o Exclusion: Inflammatory diseases of the ear, acoustic neuroma, or neurocognitive disorder • Pure tone audiometry, SRT, tympanometry • Tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) • Listening effort: Dual-task paradigm 7

Discussion • Patients with unilateral hearing loss have poor speech recognition under background Feuerstein, 1992 noise. • Background noise increased listening effort of patients with SSNHL ØCompatible with previous studies Normal-Hearing people (Desjardins & Doherty, 2013) Hearing-impaired children(Dawna Lewis et al. , 2016) 17

Conclusion • No correlation between the tinnitus severity and listening effort in SSNHL patients

Conclusion • No correlation between the tinnitus severity and listening effort in SSNHL patients with single-sided hearing. • Background noise increases the listening effort in SSNHL patients with single-sided hearing. 18
