Esforço auditivo e capacidade de memória operacional em deficientes auditivos: revisão integrativa de literatura. Rev CEFAC 2018;20(06):798–807	– To review the literature on behavioral methods for assessing listening effort.	– The dual-task paradigm proved to be sensitive to measure listening effort.
Listening effort and fatigue in hearing impaired adolescents – use of the FM system (Cruz, 2018)²⁵25 Cruz ADD. Esforço auditivo e fadiga em adolescentes com deficiência auditiva-uso do sistema FM [dissertation]. Bauru: Universidade de São Paulo.; 2018:147	– To analyze listening effort and fatigue in adolescents with HL, users of hearing aids, with or without FM system. – To compare the performance of normal hearing adolescents with adolescents with HL in the dual-task paradigm. – To analyze impact of noise on learning. – To investigate the impact of using the FM system in the classroom.	– The Paleta platform was effective to verify the occurrence of listening effort and the FM system proved to be effective to reduce listening effort in the studied population. – Regarding fatigue, no significant differences were found between the groups. – The complaints of adolescents with HL significantly decrease with the use of the FM system. – Most teenagers using the FM system were satisfied and were making effective use of their devices in the classroom.
Physiological methods as indices for measuring listening effort: an integrative literature review (Guijo & Cardoso, 2018)²⁶26 Guijo LM, Cardoso ACV. Métodos fisiológicos como índices de mensuração do esforço auditivo: uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Rev CEFAC 2018;20(04):541–549	– To review the scientific literature on the objective assessment of listening effort in people without HL.	– Despite skin conductance presenting more accurate results, there is no consensus regarding the best objective method to measure listening effort.
Effort to hear and auditory aging: analysis of functional relationships between age, auditory sensitivity and divided attention (Santana, 2017)²⁷27 Santana CCVPD. Esforço para ouvir e envelhecimento auditivo: análise de relações funcionais entre idade, sensibilidade auditiva e atenção dividida [dissertation]. Brasília:: Universidade de Brasilia.; 2017:106	– To verify the relationship of auditory sensitivity and divided attention with the effect of aging on listening effort.	– Age impacts listening effort. – Proportionally inverse relationship between divided attention and listening effort. – Interactions of influence between the variables of age, auditory sensitivity, divided attention and listening effort.
Content validation and response processes of an instrument for measuring listening effort (Guijo, 2019)²⁸28 Guijo LM. Validação de conteúdo e processos de resposta de um instrumento para mensuração do esforço auditivo [dissertation]. Marilia: Universidade Estadual Paulista.; 2019:118	– To validate the content of an instrument for measuring listening effort.	– The instrument is suitable for its construction.

Mensuração do esforço auditivo com o uso de um paradigma de tarefa dupla do Português Brasileiro: estudo-piloto. CoDAS 2019;31(04):e20180181	– To measure the occurrence of listening effort in normal listeners and analyze the clinical significance of the participants' performance.	– The proposed paradigm was sensitive to quantify the listening effort, making it possible to measure its occurrence in this population.
Content validation of an instrument to measure listening effort (Guijo et al., 2020)³⁰30 Guijo LM, Horiuti MB, Cardoso ACV. Validação de conteúdo de um instrumento para mensuração do esforço auditivo. CoDAS 2020; 32(05):e20180272	– To validate listening effort assessment instrument in people with HL.	– The material is suitable for use to measure listening effort.

Bauru: Universidade de São Paulo; 2020:119	– To check listening effort in people with unilateral HL before and after using the CROS system. – To verify your restriction of participation and quality of life.	– The use of the CROS system was effective to eliminate participation restriction, improve quality of life and reduce listening effort.
Assessment of listening effort using amplification through a dual-task paradigm and pupillometry (Senis, 2020)³²32 Senis RCS. Avaliação do esforço auditivo com uso da amplificação por meio de paradigma de dupla tarefa e pupilometria [dissertation]. Bauru: Universidade de São Paulo.; 2020:89	– To verify the performance of elderly users of hearing aids in the assessment of listening effort.	– It is necessary to improve the methods of assessment of listening effort in the elderly. – Pupillometry was not effective for this purpose in this study.
Listening effort and recording of parasympathetic control of the heart during sentence recognition: a pilot study (Guijo et al., 2020)³³33 Guijo LM, de Góes VB, Horiuti MB, et al. Esforço auditivo e registro do controle parassimpático do coração durante o reconhecimento de sentenças: estudo piloto. Distúrb Comun 2020;32 (02):205–214	– To compare the heart rate variability in different listening situations and verify the sensitivity of this method to assess the listening effort.	– The recording of heart rate variability was not sensitive for the purpose of this study.
The effects of using hearing aids and a frequency modulated system on listening effort among adolescents with hearing loss. (Cruz et al., 2020)³⁴34 Cruz ADD, Gagné JP, Cruz WM, et al. The effects of using hearing aids and a frequency modulated system on listening effort among adolescents with hearing loss. Int J Audiol 2020;59(02):117–123	– To compare the listening effort of adolescents with HL with hearing aids and using hearing aids and FM system and adolescents without hearing loss. – To develop website for secondary task application for Dual Task Paradigm.	– The FM system reduces listening effort in teenagers with hearing loss. – The site proved to be effective for the purpose.
