Previous research suggests that noise sensitivity is related to inefficient auditory processing that might increase the mental load of noise and affect noise evaluation. This assumption was tested in an experiment using a dual-task paradigm with a visual primary task and an auditory secondary task. Results showed that participants' noise sensitivity was positively correlated with mental effort. Furthermore, mental effort mediated the effect of noise sensitivity on loudness and unpleasantness ratings. The results thus support the idea that noise sensitivity is related to increased mental effort and difficulties in filtering auditory information and that situational factors should be considered.
先前的研究表明，噪声敏感性与听觉处理效率低下有关，这可能会增加噪声的心理负荷，并影响噪声评估。本研究采用视觉主任务和听觉次任务的双重任务范式来检验这一假设。结果表明，参与者的噪声敏感性与心理努力呈正相关。此外，心理努力在噪声敏感性对响度和不舒适度评价的影响中起中介作用。因此，这些结果支持了噪声敏感性与增加的心理努力和过滤听觉信息的困难有关的观点，并且表明应该考虑情境因素。
