“…This finding highlights the pivotal role of negative affective responses, particularly to unwanted sensory stimuli, in the subjective experience of listening-related fatigue (Francis & Love, 2020; Strand et al, 2018). This is consistent with recent findings that negative emotional responses may influence our tolerance of background noise in general (Mackersie et al, 2021). It also sheds light on the ongoing tug-of-war in the relationship between age and listening-related fatigue.…”

Listening-related fatigue is a potentially serious negative consequence of an aging auditory and cognitive system. However, the impact of age on listening-related fatigue and the factors underpinning any such effect remain unexplored. Using data from a large sample of adults ( N = 281), we conducted a conditional process analysis to examine potential mediators and moderators of age-related changes in listening-related fatigue. Mediation analyses revealed opposing effects of age on listening-related fatigue: Older adults with greater perceived hearing impairment tended to report increased listening-related fatigue. However, aging was otherwise associated with decreased listening-related fatigue via reductions in both mood disturbance and sensory-processing sensitivity. Results suggested that the effect of auditory attention ability on listening-related fatigue was moderated by sensory-processing sensitivity; for individuals with high sensory-processing sensitivity, better auditory attention ability was associated with increased fatigue. These findings shed light on the perceptual, cognitive, and psychological factors underlying age-related changes in listening-related fatigue.

Listening-related fatigue is a potentially serious negative consequence of an aging auditory and cognitive system. However, the impact of age on listening-related fatigue, and the factors underpinning any such effect, remain unexplored. Using data from a large sample of adults (N = 281), we conducted a conditional process analysis to examine potential mediators and moderators of age-related changes in listening-related fatigue. Mediation analyses revealed opposing effects of age on listening-related fatigue; aging was associated with increased listening-related fatigue for individuals with higher self-reported hearing impairment, but also decreased listening-related fatigue via reductions in mood disturbance and sensory processing sensitivity (‘sensitivity’). Results also suggested that the effect of auditory attention ability on listening-related fatigue was moderated by sensitivity; for individuals with high sensitivity, better auditory attention ability was associated with increased fatigue. These findings shed light on the perceptual, cognitive, and psychological factors underlying age-related changes in listening-related fatigue.
