Abstract

PURPOSE

The goal of this study was to determine whether hearing aids in combination with computer-based auditory training improve audiovisual (AV) performance compared with the use of hearing aids alone.

METHOD

Twenty-four participants were randomized into an experimental group (hearing aids plus ReadMyQuips [RMQ] training) and a control group (hearing aids only). The Multimodal Lexical Sentence Test for Adults (Kirk et al., 2012) was used to measure auditory-only (AO) and AV speech perception performance at three signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Participants were tested at the time of hearing aid fitting (pretest), after 4 weeks of hearing aid use (posttest I), and again after 4 weeks of RMQ training (posttest II).

RESULTS

Results did not reveal an effect of training. As expected, interactions were found between (a) modality (AO vs. AV) and SNR and (b) test (pretest vs. posttests) and SNR.

CONCLUSION

Data do not show a significant effect of RMQ training on AO or AV performance as measured using the Multimodal Lexical Sentence Test for Adults.

摘要

目的

本研究的目的是确定与单独使用助听器相比，助听器与基于计算机的听觉训练相结合是否能改善视听（AV）表现。

方法

24名参与者被随机分为实验组（助听器加ReadMyQuips [RMQ]训练）和对照组（仅使用助听器）。使用成人多模态词汇句子测试（Kirk等人，2012年）在三种信噪比（SNR）下测量纯听觉（AO）和AV言语感知表现。参与者在助听器验配时（预测试）、使用助听器4周后（后测试I）以及RMQ训练4周后再次进行测试（后测试II）。
