5 Consequences of hearing loss Hearing Access to acoustic stimulation Listening Hearing with attention and intention Comprehension Interpretation of acoustic / linguistic information Psychosocial consequences Impaired Hearing Impaired Social Engagement Impaired Communication Communication Effective use and transmission of information Impaired Wellbeing (Kiessling et al., 2003) (Dalton et al., 2003; Kramer et al., 2002)
6 Listening and cognition
7 Speech intelligibility and other factors Speech perception, particularly in noise, becomes more difficult with age Hearing loss explains only part of the story (Kraus)
8 Speech intelligibility and other factors Speech perception, particularly in noise, becomes more difficult with age Hearing loss explains only part of the story What do we mean by cognition? (Kraus) Role of cognition has emerged over the last decade
9 Role of cognition But what is the nature of the relationship between speech perception and cognition? which aspects of cognition are important for speech complexity? What do we mean by cognition? Attention: Ability to actively process specific information present in our environment Working memory: Ability to simultaneously store and process task-relevant information (Daneman & Carpenter, 1980) 2 sides of the same coin
10 Of course, the story is more complex than just that Model of executive functioning e.g. monitoring, attention-switching, memory updating (Diamond, 2013)
11 So, what have we done? Research question: Which aspects of cognition are important for speech perception? Approach: Exploration of baseline data collected previously from two auditory training studies Auditory I RCT Phoneme in quiet Non-HA users n=44 Training = ~6 hrs (4wks) Auditory II Repeated measures Phoneme in noise Existing HA users n=30 Training = ~3.5 hrs (1wk) (Ferguson et al, Ear and Hearing, 2014) (Henshaw & Ferguson, ISAAR, 2014)

13 Speech tests Increasing speech test complexity Phoneme Discrimination (/a/-/e/) Digit triplet (word) in noise Sentence in noise Broad range of responses mild hearing loss
14 Complex Simple Divided attention Executive function Single attention Auditory I: Cognitive outcome measures Attention Working memory Simple-span Digit span backwards Repeat in reverse order Complex-span Visual letter monitoring Identify 3-letter words F U T O P
15 Hearing and cognition what s important? words words sentence sentence sentence Hearing sensitivity correlates with words and sentences, but not cognition Attention and WM correlate with sentences only

17 Hearing and cognition what s important? Increasing speech test complexity Phoneme discrimination Hearing Cognition Digit triplet (word) in noise Hearing Cognition Sentence in noise Hearing Cognition Contributions of hearing sensitivity and cognition vary according to the complexity of the speech tests Relationship between speech performance and cognition is likely to be specific to the tests used referring simply to speech and cognition may overlook important distinctions What does this mean to you? Clinicians and practitioners need to be aware of these relationship when deciding which tests are used to assess speech
18 Future directions Relationship between speech perception, cognition and self-report Speech Cognition Self-report Exploratory testing these results in a second auditory training study Focussed on test of complex cognition In hearing aid users with mild-moderate hearing loss Paper in prep (Heinrich, Henshaw & Ferguson Frontiers Psychology) Hypothesis-driven research to probe specific questions
19 What does this mean to you?
20 Interventions for hearing loss (Boothroyd, 2007) Sensory management to optimize auditory function Perceptual training to improve speech perception and communication Instruction in the use of technologies and control of the listening environment Counselling to enhance participation
21 Listening and cognition Auditory and cognitive training
22 Top-down Cognitive control Bottom-up sensory refinement Auditory training: How does it work? Teaching the brain to listen through active engagement with sounds Bottom-up vs. top-down Near vs. far transfer Near transfer Far transfer Trained task different talker Untrained task Untrained task different modality Real-world benefit
23 (Ferguson & Henshaw, Frontiers in Cognitive Neuroscience, 2015) Does it work? the evidence On-task learning Transfer of learning Systematic review: (Henshaw & Ferguson, PLOS ONE, 2013) People with mild-moderate hearing loss, years, at-home training Auditory I RCT Phoneme in quiet Non-HA users n=44 Training = ~6 hrs (4wks) Auditory II Repeated measures Phoneme in noise Existing HA users n=30 Training = ~3.5 hrs (1wk) Working Memory RCT Cogmed WM Existing HA users n=57 Training = ~15 hrs (5 wks)
24 Executive processes Auditory I: transfer of learning to complex but not simple outcomes RCT Simple Complex Communication Watching TV Conversation with people in a group Cognition Single attention Simple-span WM (digit span) Divided attention Complex-span WM (visual letter monitoring) Speech perception Energetic masking (speech in noise) Informational masking (competing speech) For listening abilities, improvements in complex cognition may be more important than the refinement of sensory skills (Ferguson, Henshaw, Clarke, Moore, Ear & Hearing, 2014)
25 Auditory II: transfer of learning to competing speech Modified Coordinate Response Measure (MCRM) *p <.05 * d =.47 n=30 T1 T2 T3 (Henshaw & Ferguson, ISAAR proceedings, 2014)
26 Participant reported benefits Post-training feedback questionnaire (n=44) The best aspect(s) of your experience with the training programme? Improved listening, concentration and attention (23%) Increased awareness of hearing difficulties (18%) Two representative focus groups (n=10) Increased awareness of the role of attention and concentration in HL I ve got to pay attention and focus more than I used to...when you are concentrating you can hear more. Improved concentration and listening post-training. [the training] made me want to listen to the one person I was facing You could do that better you ve not been listening before. Now you re listening (Henshaw, McCormack, Ferguson Frontiers Psychology, 2015)
27 Auditory training: summary and conclusions We listen with our brains Post-training improvements were shown for complex but not simple measures of communication, cognition and speech perception For the transfer of learning, complexity counts and improvements appear to draw upon executive processes Benefits of training were evident for challenging tasks Outcomes to assess benefit should be appropriately challenging to the effects of training. Outcomes should be sensitive to the intended mechanism(s) of benefit Could training cognition offer a more direct route to patient benefit?
28 Cognitive training study: visual working memory Double blind RCT n= 62 hearing aid users (n=57 completed) Adaptive training Active control (Henshaw & Ferguson, Trials 2013)
29 Outcome measures Near transfer Far transfer Digit span (trained task, different talker) Visual letter monitoring task (untrained WM task) Dual-task listening and memory Unpublished data removed to avoid future publishing conflicts Self-reported hearing (GHABP/HHIE) High/low predictability sentences Competing speech (MCRM)
30 Working memory training: summary and conclusions Improvements were seen for the trained tasks (on-task learning) in a trained WM task in auditory domain (near transfer) No improvements in cognitively demanding speech perception task (no far transfer real world everyday listening). It is unlikely that training cognition in isolation outside of the context of speech perception will provide real world benefits Future direction: might training on speech tasks that draw upon elements of executive processing optimise everyday listening for adults with hearing loss?

43 Top 10 priority Q s MMHL in adults 1 What adverse effects are associated with not treating mild to moderate hearing loss in adults? 2 Does the early fitting of hearing aid(s) result in increased patient benefit and/or improved costeffectiveness of the service? 3 Does the early fitting of hearing aids slow the rate of cognitive decline? 4 What are the reasons for low hearing aid uptake, use and adherence? 5 Can new technologies replace hearing aids? 6 Can stem cell therapy offer a cure for mild to moderate hearing loss in adults? Does early identification, diagnosis and treatment of mild to moderate hearing loss prevent further deterioration of hearing? Could new developments to digital hearing aids offer improved speech perception in noisy environments? How realistic are hearing tests for assessing the everyday hearing abilities of adults with mild to moderate hearing loss? Could the use of real-world sounds to help program hearing aids in clinic (rather than tones or beeps) improve hearing aid effectiveness?
