OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of the use of hearing aids in self-perception of tinnitus and hearing loss in the elderly.
METHODS
A total of 24 elderly patients between 60 and 70 years of age with moderate-grade sensorineural hearing loss were evaluated and divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of tinnitus. All volunteers were fitted with binaural micro-channel hearing aids of the same brand and model and submitted to tests, scales, and questionnaires relevant to this topic. The evaluations were performed before and after one and three months of effective use of these hearing aids.
RESULTS
Acoustic stimulation through the effective use of hearing aids caused a reduction in the perception of tinnitus sound intensity (especially in evaluations with the prosthesis on) and in nuisance associated with this symptom and with hearing loss. In addition, all participants were satisfied with the use of hearing aids.
CONCLUSION
The continuous use of hearing aids is beneficial for the treatment of tinnitus and hearing loss, bringing satisfaction to users.
目的
确定使用助听器对老年人耳鸣自我认知及听力损失的影响。
方法
对24名年龄在60至70岁之间、患有中度感音神经性听力损失的老年患者进行评估，并根据是否存在耳鸣分为两组。所有志愿者均佩戴同一品牌和型号的双耳微通道助听器，并接受与此主题相关的测试、量表和问卷调查。在有效使用这些助听器1个月和3个月前后进行评估。
结果
通过有效使用助听器进行声刺激，可降低耳鸣声音强度的感知（尤其是佩戴助听器时的评估）以及与该症状和听力损失相关的困扰。此外，所有参与者对使用助听器均感到满意。
结论
持续使用助听器有益于耳鸣和听力损失的治疗，给使用者带来满意度。
