WhatisFatigue?
• Occursinthephysicalandmental/cognitive domains
• Subjectively- fatigueisamoodorfeelingoftiredness,exhaustion,orlackofenergy
• Behaviorally- fatigueaffectsfocus,concentration,alertness,and/ormentalefficiency
FatigueisCommon!
Transientfatigue• Common,eveninhealthy
populations
Recurrent,severefatigue• Uncommoninhealthy

ConsequencesofFatigue
Adults• stress, inattention, reducedconcentration,slowed
mentalprocessing, andimpaireddecision-making
• lessproductiveandmorepronetoaccidents
• lessactive,moreisolated, lessabletomonitorownself-care
Children• inattention, reducedconcentration,highdistractibility
• poorerschoolachievement, higherabsenteeism

ChangeinProcessingResources:ChildrenwithNormalHearing
Cognitive processing was reduced following sustained speech-processing tasks (p<.05).
Key, Gustafson, Rentmeester, Hornsby, and Bess, (in review)
Who’satrisk?
For children with normal hearing, younger children and those who have poorer speech recognition in noise were more likely to show reductions
in cognitive processing due to sustained speech-processing.

Normal Hearing(n=27)
Unaided Hearing Loss(n=34)
Children with hearing loss show delays in cognitive processing when
compared to children with normal hearing.
Gustafson, Hornsby, Bess, and Key (in preparation)
ChangeinProcessingResources:ChildrenwithHearingLoss
Trend for cognitive processing to be reduced following sustained speech-processing tasks (p=.087).
Gustafson, Hornsby, Bess, and Key (in preparation)
Who’satrisk?
Age, Language, Nonverbal Intelligence, or Speech in Noise Recognition did not
significantly relate with cognitive processing changes following sustained
speech processing.
The lack of relationship with degree of hearing loss suggests that all children with hearing loss, even mild hearing loss, are at risk of negative effects of
increased listening effort.

Significant increase in lapses of attention

Fatigue Ratings
No change in ratings of fatigue (p=.929)
Although both groups showed increased lapses of attention following sustained speech processing, our brief fatigue rating scale did not capture
subjective fatigue in children with and without hearing loss.
