The effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hearing is well documented in the literature. Several studies have investigated the effect of hemodialysis on the peripheral auditory system among individuals with CKD. However, studies investigating the effect of hemodialysis on speech perception and auditory processing abilities are limited. The present study investigated the effect of hemodialysis on few auditory processing abilities and speech perception in noise among adults with CKD.
A total of 25 adults with CKD undergoing hemodialysis regularly participated in the study. Spectral ripple discrimination threshold (SRDT), gap detection threshold (GDT), amplitude-modulation detection threshold (AMDT), and speech recognition threshold in noise (SRTn) were measured before and after hemodialysis. Paired samples "t" test was carried out to investigate the effect of hemodialysis on thresholds.
Results showed a significant improvement for SRDT, GDT, AMDT, and SRTn after hemodialysis among individuals with CKD.
Hemodialysis showed a positive effect on speech perception in noise and auditory processing abilities among individuals with CKD.
慢性肾病（CKD）对听力的影响在文献中有充分的记载。有几项研究调查了 CKD 患者血液透析对周围听觉系统的影响。然而，研究血液透析对言语感知和听觉处理能力影响的研究有限。本研究调查了血液透析对慢性肾脏病成人的几种听觉处理能力和噪声中言语感知的影响。
共有 25 名接受定期血液透析的 CKD 成人参与了这项研究。在血液透析前后测量了频谱波纹辨别阈（SRDT）、间隙检测阈（GDT）、调幅检测阈（AMDT）和噪声下言语识别阈（SRTn）。采用配对样本“t”检验来研究血液透析对阈值的影响。
结果表明，CKD 患者血液透析后 SRDT、GDT、AMDT 和 SRTn 均有显著改善。
血液透析对 CKD 患者的噪声下言语感知和听觉处理能力有积极影响。
