目的:探讨普通话可接受噪声级(M—ANL)测试与患者导向的听觉改善分级(COSI)问卷在老年助听器验配效果评估中的应用。方法:招募首次选配助听器的老年听障者(〉60岁)32例,较好耳听损程度为中度到重度感音神经性聋,验配前进行M-ANL测试,验配6周后随访,填写COSI问卷。根据助听器佩戴时间将32位受试者分为3组:每天佩戴〈1h组(11例),每天佩戴1~〈4h组(13例),每天佩戴≥4h组(8例),比较3组受试者M-ANI。值与COSI得分的相关性。结果:①3组受试者之间M—ANI。值有显著差异(P〈0.05);②〈1h组COSI得分明显低于1~〈4h组(P〈O.05),而1~〈4h组得分与≥4h组差异无统计学意义;③M—ANL值与COSI得分有较好相关性。结论:M—ANI。可较好预估助听器验配的满意度,而COSI问卷也在助听器效果评估中发挥有效作用。
Objective: The purpose of this study was to inquiry into the application of mandarin acceptable noise level(M-ANL) and client oriented scale of improvement in evaluation of hearing aid fitting for presbyacusis. Method:Thirty-two adults with presbycusis who used the hearing aid for the first time were selected for the study. M-ANL tests were done prior to the hearing aid fitting. Six weeks later, these patients were asked to fill in ques- tionnaire of client oriented scale of improvement (COSI). The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the time of hearing aid using in their daily lives: less than one hour per day, 1 to 4 hours per day and more than 4 hours per day. The relativity of M-ANL and the score of COSI were compared. Result: (1)There were significant differences of the M-ANL among 3 groups(P(0.05) (Z)The scores of COSI of group 1(less than one hour per day) was lower than group 2(1 to 4 hours per day), while there were no significant differences between the scores of group 2(1 to 4 hours per day) and group 3(more than 4 hours per day) ; (3) There was good correlation between the score of M-ANL and COSI. Conclusion: M-ANL can forecast the satisfaction of hearing aids fitting. And COSI can play an effective role in outcome measurement.
