TL;DR: This work adapted Kahneman's seminal (1973) Capacity Model of Attention to listening and proposed a heuristically useful Framework for Understanding Effortful Listening (FUEL), which incorporates the well-known relationship between cognitive demand and the supply of cognitive capacity that is the foundation of cognitive theories of attention.

TL;DR: Results from both dual tasks support the hypothesis that NR reduces listening effort and frees up cognitive resources for other tasks, and future hearing aid research should incorporate objective measurements of cognitive benefits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a personal communication device consisting of a transmitter/receiver coupled to a communication medium for transmitted receiving audio signals, control circuitry that controls transmission, reception and processing of call and audio signals.

TL;DR: This article attempts to predict in which areas the new developments in digital hearing aids will occur, driven by research advances in the following fields: wireless technology, digital chip technology, hearing science, and cognitive science.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of generating a personalized sound system hearing profile for a user is presented, where the initial profile is selected based on demographic factors and then the system identifies one or more alternate profiles, each having a selected relationship with the original profile.
