Clinical tests of cochlear implant (CI) outcomes in sentence recognition cannot fully reflect CI users' self-reported quality of life (QoL). Here, vocal emotion recognition scores, speech reception thresholds (SRTs), and demographic factors were tested as predictors of QoL scores assessed with the Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire in postlingually deafened adult CI users. After correction for multiple comparisons, vocal emotion recognition scores were significantly correlated with QoL scores in all subdomains (social interaction, self-esteem, etc.), while SRTs and duration of CI use were not. Vocal emotion recognition may thus be used in clinic to accurately and broadly predict QoL with CIs.
临床测试耳蜗植入（CI）在句子识别方面的结果并不能完全反映 CI 用户的自我报告生活质量（QoL）。在这里，嗓音情感识别得分、言语接受阈（SRT）和人口统计学因素被测试作为预测在后天聋的成年 CI 用户中使用尼梅根人工耳蜗问卷评估的生活质量得分的指标。在进行多次比较校正后，嗓音情感识别得分与所有子领域（社交互动、自尊等）的生活质量得分显著相关，而 SRT 和 CI 使用时间长短则没有相关性。因此，嗓音情感识别可用于临床，以准确和广泛地预测 CI 的生活质量。
