Many auditory system functions improve under the influence of music. The binaural hearing also plays a critical role in speech-in-noise perception. The present study was done to investigate the effect of music on speech-in-noise perception in binaural and monaural hearing aid users. This study was conducted on 40 unilateral and bilateral hearing aid users aged 25 to 55, including 23 female and 17 male individuals. The Q-SIN test and SSQ questionnaire were used to investigate the effect of music on speech-in-noise perception before and after the treatment. Results of the Q-SIN test showed that music reduced SNR-50 and SNR LOSS, which was more evident in bilateral hearing aid users ( < 0.05). Results of the SSQ questionnaire also indicated that after the 3-month reevaluation, the questionnaire scores increased, and the increase was higher in the bilateral hearing aid users ( < 0.05). Regularly listening to music on a programmed basis improves speech-in-noise perception. Results of the present study showed that bilateral hearing aids had a higher effect on improving speech-in-noise perception than unilateral hearing aids.
许多听觉系统功能在音乐的影响下会得到改善。双耳听力在噪声环境下的言语感知中也起着关键作用。本研究旨在调查音乐对双耳和单耳助听器使用者在噪声环境下言语感知的影响。本研究对40名年龄在25至55岁之间的单侧和双侧助听器使用者进行，其中包括23名女性和17名男性。使用Q-SIN测试和SSQ问卷来调查治疗前后音乐对噪声环境下言语感知的影响。Q-SIN测试结果表明，音乐降低了SNR-50和SNR LOSS，这在双侧助听器使用者中更为明显（<0.05）。SSQ问卷结果还表明，在3个月的重新评估后，问卷得分有所提高，且在双侧助听器使用者中提高幅度更大（<0.05）。有规律地按计划听音乐可改善噪声环境下的言语感知。本研究结果表明，双侧助听器在改善噪声环境下言语感知方面比单侧助听器效果更好。
