目的:探讨不同耳聋程度对婴幼儿患者听觉能力发育的影响,为患儿的听力康复提供基本资料。方法:共有32例选配助听器的语前聋婴幼儿参与本次试验。选配年龄为3~34个月,平均16个月。根据耳聋程度将患儿分为3组。A组听力损失为中度(41~60dB HL),B组听力损失为重度(61~80dB HL),C组听力损失为极重度(〉81dB HL)。使用婴幼儿有意义听觉整合量表(IT-MAIS)对患儿的听觉能力进行评估。评估分别在选配前及选配后1、3、6、9、12个月时进行。结果:3组患儿的听觉能力得分均随助听器使用时间的延长而显著提高(P〈0.05)。A组患者在选配后3个月与选配前及选配后1个月时听觉能力得分的差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。B组患者在选配后6个月与选配前及选配后1、3个月时听觉能力得分比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。C组患者在选配后9个月与选配前及选配后1、3、6个月时听觉能力得分比较差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。A、B两组患儿在选配前和选配后1、3、6、9、12个月时听觉能力得分比较差异均无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。A、C两组患儿在选配后3、6、9、12个月时听觉能力得分比较差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。B、C两组患儿在选配后1、3、6、9、12个月时听觉能力得分比较差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:耳聋婴幼儿在选配助听器后,听觉能力随助听器使用时间的延长而显著提高。耳聋程度对选配助听器婴幼儿听觉能力的发育存在显著影响。
Objective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of hearing level on auditory performance in infants with hearing aids and provide a clinical database for their hearing and speech habilitation.Method:A total of 32 infants with prelingual hearing loss participated in this study,ranging in age at hearing aid fitting from 3 to 34 months with a mean of 16 months.According to their hearing level,they were divided into three groups.Infants in group A were with moderate hearing loss(41-60 dB HL).Infants in group B were with severe hearing loss(61-80 dB HL).Infants in group C were with profound hearing loss(81 dB HL).The infant-toddler meaningful auditory integration scale(IT-MAIS) was used to evaluate their auditory performance.The evaluation was performed before hearing aid fitting and 1,3,6,9,12 months after fitting.Result:The mean scores of auditory performance showed significant improvements with time of hearing aid use for the three groups of infants(P0.05).The mean score of auditory performance for group A at 3 months after fitting was significantly superior in comparison with the scores before hearing aid fitting and at 1 month after fitting(P0.05).The mean score of auditory performance for group B at 6 months after fitting was significantly superior in comparison with the scores before hearing aid fitting and at 1,3 months after fitting(P0.05).The mean score of auditory performance for group C at 9 months after fitting was significantly superior in comparison with the scores before hearing aid fitting and at 1,3,6 months after fitting(P0.05).There were no significant differences in mean scores between group A and B at each evaluating interval(P0.05).However,significant differences were observed between group A and C at 3,6,9,12 months after fitting(P0.05).Significant differences were also shown between group B and C at 1,3,6,9,12 months after fitting(P0.05).Conclusion:Auditory performance of infants with prelingual hearing loss developed signif
