Valence ratings of recorded media for adults with and without hearing loss.
Article in International journal of audiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study evaluated valence ratings in response to recorded media under a variety of listening situations. DESIGN AND STUDY SAMPLE: Younger adults with normal hearing (
resultsIn both experiments, older listeners with hearing loss provided significantly lower valence ratings than their typical hearing peers, but only when the surround sound loudspeakers were used or when the dialogue-to-background ratio was +7 dB. Older listeners provided lower valence ratings when the loudspeaker was either stereo or surround sound or when dialogue-to-background ratio was +12 dB, but only when visual cues were not available.
conclusionOlder adults with hearing loss exhibit disrupted ratings of valence to recorded media. The effect could be mitigated with improved dialogue-to-background ratios of television shows and movies, but not with surround sound systems.
