We studied the impact of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and cognitive deficit (CD) on the self-assessment of hearing handicap in 122 elderly subjects. Self-assessment was quantified by means of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE). Results showed that cognitive impairment exerted no significant effect on the self-assessment of hearing handicap. Subjects with CAPD, however, rated themselves as significantly more handicapped than non-CAPD subjects. Furthermore this difference did not interact with degree of loss. It was present even in subjects without significant peripheral sensitivity loss. These results support the conclusion that CAPD status is a relevant dimension in the evaluation of the elderly subject with or without peripheral hearing loss.
我们研究了中枢听觉处理障碍（CAPD）和认知缺陷（CD）对122名老年受试者听力障碍自我评估的影响。通过老年人听力障碍调查表（HHIE）对自我评估进行量化。结果表明，认知障碍对听力障碍的自我评估没有显著影响。然而，患有CAPD的受试者对自己的障碍程度评分明显高于未患CAPD的受试者。此外，这种差异与听力损失程度无关。即使在没有明显外周感觉丧失的受试者中也存在这种差异。这些结果支持以下结论：CAPD状态是评估有或无外周听力损失的老年受试者的一个相关维度。
