Abstract

Classroom hearing aid and earmold inspection of the amplification worn by 109 school-age children was performed by an audiologist. Hearing aids and earmolds were classified as adequate or inadequate depending on whether optimal function of the hearing aids and good fit of the earmolds was found. Over 60% of the children were found to be using malfunctioning hearing aids or poorly fitting earmolds. The large number of children wearing inadequate amplification demonstrates the need for constant hearing aid monitoring and earmold check as part of aural rehabilitation and educational programs for hearing-impaired children. A method for accomplishing hearing aid and earmold check by parents and school personnel is described.

摘要

一名听力学家对109名学龄儿童佩戴的助听器及耳模进行了课堂听力放大检查。根据助听器是否达到最佳功能以及耳模是否佩戴合适，将助听器和耳模分为合适或不合适两类。结果发现，超过60%的儿童使用的助听器存在故障或耳模佩戴不合适。大量儿童佩戴的放大装置不合适，这表明有必要对助听器进行持续监测，并对耳模进行检查，作为听力受损儿童听觉康复和教育计划的一部分。本文还介绍了一种由家长和学校工作人员进行助听器和耳模检查的方法。
