The ability to selectively attend to what is important and relevant is essential for us as listeners to navigate through the complexities of sound environments throughout the day. This ability is important for successful speech communication and social participation and is restricted in individuals with a hearing impairment. We introduce the concept of selective attention and then focus on a novel objective technique to assess selective attention using electroencephalography (EEG). We present the research findings and what this means for your clients fitted with Oticon Opn S™.
