Data were collected from the national quality register for severe-to-profound hearing impairment in adults in Sweden. All patients with severe hearing impairment, regardless of gender, should be offered extended audiological rehabilitation. Severe hearing loss results in a significantly more negative impact on women's quality-of-life (QoL) compared to men. Patients with combined severe vision and hearing loss experience a poorer QoL and greater levels of anxiety and depression compared to patients with severe hearing loss. Surprisingly, few patients are offered cochlea implants (CIs) despite fulfilling the criteria for CI. CI investigation should be initiated early in patients with severe hearing loss to increase the potential for an improved QoL and reduced anxiety and depression.
数据收集自瑞典全国成人重度至极重度听力障碍质量登记处。所有重度听力障碍患者，无论性别，均应接受强化听力康复治疗。与男性相比，重度听力损失对女性生活质量（QoL）的负面影响显著更大。与重度听力损失患者相比，合并重度视力和听力损失的患者生活质量更差，焦虑和抑郁程度更高。令人惊讶的是，尽管符合人工耳蜗（CI）标准，但很少有患者接受CI治疗。对于重度听力损失患者，应尽早开展CI检查，以提高改善生活质量、减轻焦虑和抑郁的可能性。
