This study compares two response-time measures of listening effort that can be combined with a clinical speech test for a more comprehensive evaluation of total listening experience; verbal response times to auditory stimuli (RT(aud)) and response times to a visual task (RTs(vis)) in a dual-task paradigm. The listening task was presented in five masker conditions; no noise, and two types of noise at two fixed intelligibility levels. Both the RTs(aud) and RTs(vis) showed effects of noise. However, only RTs(aud) showed an effect of intelligibility. Because of its simplicity in implementation, RTs(aud) may be a useful effort measure for clinical applications.
本研究比较了两种听力努力的反应时间测量方法，它们可与临床言语测试相结合，以更全面地评估总体听力体验；在双任务范式中，对听觉刺激的言语反应时间（RT(aud)）和对视觉任务的反应时间（RTs(vis)）。听力任务在五种掩蔽条件下呈现；无噪声，以及在两个固定可懂度水平下的两种噪声类型。RTs(aud)和RTs(vis)均显示出噪声的影响。然而，只有RTs(aud)显示出可懂度的影响。由于其实施简单，RTs(aud)可能是临床应用中一种有用的努力程度测量方法。
