This study investigated the effect of different auditory stimuli and cognitive tasks on balance in healthy young adults.
Thirty-three participants, aged 23.33 ± 2.43 years, were included in the study. The hearing levels of the participants were determined. Static and dynamic postural stability and limits of stability (LOS) tests were performed in the absence of auditory stimuli, in the presence of spondee word lists at 70 dB(A) and in the presence of spondee+white noise (-6 dB signal-to-noise ratio [SNR]), while auditory stimuli were presented bilaterally with supra-aural headphones. Participants were asked to repeat the words they listened to while performing balance-related tasks.
No significant differences between the three conditions were observed in the postural stability and LOS results. Increase in total repetition error was observed as the listening task became more difficult.
The presence of auditory stimuli and the cognitive tasks did not cause any changes in the participants' balance.
本研究调查了不同听觉刺激和认知任务对健康年轻成年人平衡能力的影响。
33名年龄在23.33±2.43岁之间的参与者纳入本研究。测定了参与者的听力水平。在无听觉刺激、存在70 dB(A)的单音节词表以及存在单音节词+白噪声（信噪比为-6 dB）的情况下，使用头戴式耳机双侧呈现听觉刺激，同时进行静态和动态姿势稳定性以及稳定性极限（LOS）测试。要求参与者在执行与平衡相关的任务时重复他们听到的单词。
在姿势稳定性和LOS结果方面，三种条件之间未观察到显著差异。随着听力任务变得更加困难，总重复误差增加。
听觉刺激和认知任务的存在并未导致参与者平衡能力的任何变化。
