The objective of this study was to investigate the satisfaction measure of analog and digital hearing aid users.
Clinical with transversal cohort.
Among the 40 interviewed subjects, 20 were analog hearing aid users (Group I) and 20 were digital hearing aid users (Group II). The subjects had mild to moderate sensorineural hearing impairment, and were aged 45 to 95 years old.
The inventory of self-assessment completed by the hearing aid users was the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA--Portuguese version) proposed by Cox et al. (2002). The users of Group II used the hearing aid longer every day than the analog hearing aid users (Group I). The users of Group II have fewer difficulties with the amplification at some situations than the users of Group I. Despite the fact that users of Group I have presented mode deficit than the users of Group II, the results agree that all the subjects reported satisfaction with their hearing aids.
本研究的目的是调查模拟和数字助听器使用者的满意度情况。
横向队列临床研究。
在40名接受访谈的受试者中，20名是模拟助听器使用者（第一组）且20名是数字助听器使用者（第二组）。受试者患有轻度至中度感音神经性听力障碍，年龄在45至95岁之间。
助听器使用者完成的自我评估量表是考克斯等人（2002年）提出的《国际助听器效果量表》（IOI-HA - 葡萄牙语版）。第二组使用者每天使用助听器的时间比模拟助听器使用者（第一组）更长。在某些情况下，第二组使用者在放大方面遇到的困难比第一组使用者更少。尽管第一组使用者出现的模式缺陷比第二组使用者多，但结果一致表明所有受试者对其助听器都表示满意。
