Samantha J. Gustafson studies hearing and listening, with a focus on how much mental effort people—especially children—spend to understand speech, and how background noise and distracting sounds affect this. Much of the work examines listening-related fatigue, hearing aids and assistive microphone technology, and how children who are deaf or hard of hearing perform in real-world settings like classrooms. Recent projects also explore how emotional, non-speech sounds distract listeners and increase listening effort.
Publication activity was higher in 2017–2018 and has since settled to a steadier pace of roughly two papers per year over the last five years, with an uptick in 2025.
