The Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) was developed to evaluate meaningful use of sound in everyday situations by profoundly hearing-impaired children. Information about the use of sound in everyday situations is obtained with a parent interview technique. Initial findings obtained with this scale are reported in Experiment 1 for children who use a hearing aid, single-channel cochlear implant, multichannel cochlear implant, or two-channel tactile aid. The hearing aid users were perceived by their parents to use sound in everyday situations to a greater extent than were the users of either implant or the tactile aid. There was a trend toward slightly higher performance by the multi- than by the single-channel cochlear implant users. The tactile aid users were perceived by their parents to use sound in a meaningful way to the most limited extent. Scores on the MAIS, which were obtained on a longitudinal basis, are reported in Experiment 2. The findings suggest that meaningful auditory integration continued to develop over time in children who used each type of sensory aid.
有意义听觉整合量表（MAIS）旨在评估重度听力受损儿童在日常情境中对声音的有效利用情况。通过家长访谈技术获取有关日常情境中声音使用的信息。在实验1中报告了使用该量表对使用助听器、单通道人工耳蜗、多通道人工耳蜗或双通道触觉辅助设备的儿童的初步研究结果。家长们认为，使用助听器的儿童在日常情境中比使用人工耳蜗或触觉辅助设备的儿童更能利用声音。多通道人工耳蜗使用者的表现略高于单通道人工耳蜗使用者，呈现出一种趋势。家长们认为，使用触觉辅助设备的儿童对声音的有效利用程度最为有限。实验2报告了在纵向基础上获得的MAIS分数。研究结果表明，使用每种类型感官辅助设备的儿童，其有意义的听觉整合能力会随着时间的推移持续发展。
