Why some people with hearing loss feel like a tuckered-out cat at the end of the day:
According to Pichora-Fuller et al. (2016), listeners with hearing loss "expend more mental effort to direct attention to and concentrate on... comprehending, remembering, and responding to [speech]…." And as a result, "they may experience fatigue and/or decide to quit the task at hand to avoid becoming fatigued."
To counteract hearing-related cognitive fatigue:
• “Chill out” with quiet time every day at about the same time of day, limiting verbal input, even reading, for about 20 minutes.
• If warranted, use appropriately fitted hearing aids, ideally with noise reduction circuitry.
• Engage in auditory brain training (e.g., Sommers et al., 2015).
