Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the listening effort to predict the performance of hearing aid (HA) users in their daily lives. <jats:bold>Purpose<\/jats:bold>\u2003This study aimed\n to investigate the relationship between listening effort, daily HA use time, and HA satisfaction. <jats:bold>Research Design<\/jats:bold>\u2003This is a cross-sectional study. <jats:bold>Study Sample<\/jats:bold>\u2003Thirty-three bilateral behind-the-ear HA users (17 females and 16 males) between 19 and 37 years were\n participated. All participants had bilateral, symmetric, moderate sensorineural hearing loss and at least 6 months of experience using HAs. The pure-tone average thresholds (PTA) of the participants' left and right ears were 55.34\u2009\u00b1\u20094.38 and 54.85\u2009\u00b1\u20095.05,\n respectively. <jats:bold>Data Collection and Analysis<\/jats:bold>\u2003First, daily HA use times of the last 30 days were derived from data logging. Second, participants were asked to fill in the Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life Scale questionnaire (SADL). Lastly, participants performed the\n dual-task paradigm to evaluate listening effort. The dual-task paradigm consisted of a primary speech recognition task that included three different individualized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions, that is, SNR100, SNR80, and SNR50, which the participant could understand 100, 80, and\n 50% of the speech, respectively. The secondary task was a visual reaction time task that required participants to press the key in response to a visual probe (an image of a white or red rectangle). Multiple linear regression analyses were used to model the effect of factors (daily HA use time\n and HA satisfaction) on reaction times (RT) of each three individualized SNR sessions. <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2003Mean daily HA use time of the participants was 5.72\u2009\u00b1\u20094.14\u2009hours. Mean RTs of SNR50, SNR80, and SNR100 conditions were 1,050.61\u2009\u00b1\u2009286.49,\n 893.33\u2009\u00b1\u2009274.79, and 815.45\u2009\u00b1\u2009233.22\u2009ms, respectively. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that daily HA use time and HA satisfaction are significantly related to listening effort in all SNR conditions. For SNR80 condition; F (2,30)\u2009=\u200947.699,\n <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001, with an adjusted <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic> <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> of 0.745. <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\u2003As far as we know, this study is the first to demonstrate a strong link between listening effort, daily HA use time, and HA satisfaction. Evaluating listening effort following the\n HA fitting session may provide preliminary information about the treatment success of HA.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1865-3449","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,1]],"date-time":"2022-06-01T06:27:45Z","timestamp":1654064865000},"page":"316-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Listening Effort in Hearing Aid Users: Is It Related to Hearing Aid Use and Satisfaction?"],"prefix":"10.3766","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Samet","family":"Kili\u00e7","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, Hacettepe University, Sihhiye, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00d6znur","family":"Yi\u011fit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, Hacettepe University, Sihhiye, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meral D.","family":"T\u00fcrkyilmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, Hacettepe University, Sihhiye, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2087","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-021-07126-4","article-title":"Effects of demographic, audiologic, and hearing-aid-related variables on the outcomes of using hearing aids","author":"X Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"477","DOI":"10.3766\/jaaa.16111","article-title":"Mild-gain hearing aids as a treatment for adults with self-reported hearing difficulties","volume":"29","author":"C M Roup","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Am Acad Audiol"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2331216517730526","DOI":"10.1177\/2331216517730526","article-title":"Predictors of hearing-aid outcomes","volume":"21","author":"E A Lopez-Poveda","year":"2017","journal-title":"Trends Hear"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.2147\/CIA.S77096","article-title":"Hearing aid fitting in older persons with hearing impairment: the influence of cognitive function, age, and hearing loss on hearing aid benefit","volume":"10","author":"H Meister","year":"2015","journal-title":"Clin Interv Aging"},{"issue":"42","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1580","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000001580","article-title":"Hearing aid use and associated factors in South Korea","volume":"94","author":"I J Moon","year":"2015","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3723","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-016-4046-x","article-title":"Satisfaction and compliance of adult patients using hearing aid and evaluation of factors affecting them","volume":"273","author":"M H Korkmaz","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2331216518783608","DOI":"10.1177\/2331216518783608","article-title":"Do hearing aids address real-world hearing difficulties for adults with mild hearing impairment?
