This study investigated the relationship between dichotic listening (DL) benefits from treatment with Auditory Rehabilitation for Interaural Asymmetry (ARIA) and the severity of DL deficits quantified prior to the onset of treatment. We hypothesized that children with more severe DL deficits would demonstrate greater benefits following ARIA.
A scale that quantifies deficit severity was applied to dichotic listening scores obtained before and after training with ARIA at multiple clinical sites (n = 92). Using multiple regression analyses, we evaluated the predictive effects of deficit severity on DL outcomes.
Results demonstrated that deficit severity can predict benefits from ARIA, as measured by improvements in DL scores in both ears.
ARIA is an adaptive training paradigm for improving binaural integration abilities in children with DL deficits. The results from this study suggest that children with more severe DL deficits achieve greater benefits from ARIA and that a severity scale may provide important clinical information for recommending intervention.
本研究调查了双耳分听（DL）从听觉康复治疗耳间不对称（ARIA）中获得的益处与治疗开始前量化的DL缺陷严重程度之间的关系。我们假设，DL缺陷更严重的儿童在接受ARIA治疗后将表现出更大的益处。
将一个量化缺陷严重程度的量表应用于在多个临床地点（n = 92）接受ARIA训练前后获得的双耳分听分数。使用多元回归分析，我们评估了缺陷严重程度对DL结果的预测作用。
结果表明，缺陷严重程度可以预测ARIA带来的益处，这通过双耳DL分数的改善来衡量。
ARIA是一种用于改善DL缺陷儿童双耳整合能力的适应性训练范式。本研究结果表明，DL缺陷更严重的儿童从ARIA中获得的益处更大，并且严重程度量表可能为推荐干预措施提供重要的临床信息。
