Effect of communication difficulty on physiological outcomes
What is it about?
One of the most debilitating outcomes of experiencing hearing loss is the challenges it brings to effective communication. The unique aspect of this research lies in its investigation of how three physiological measures of heart-rate variability, skin conductance level and pupil response are influenced by the obstacles presented in real-life communication situations.
Why is it important?
Our findings show that several physiological measures can be indicators of changing communication conditions, and thus potentially being markers of communication difficulty.
