Effects of behavioral counselling of subjects with an acquired hearing loss were evaluated in an experimental design. The study included a group of 20 hearing-impaired subjects who were assessed and randomly allocated to a treatment or control group. Behavioural counselling, individualized according to the results of functional analysis, was then given to 10 subjects and included the teaching of 'hearing tactics'. The groups were measured three times, pre-counselling and post-counselling and at a 15-month follow-up, after which treatment results were analysed. Significant (time x treatment) interactions were followed by post-hoc testing revealing that the treated group had improved in several areas of functioning while controls had not. These results were in agreement with interview data. The findings indicate that a behavioural counselling approach to hearing tactics is beneficial in the understanding and rehabilitation of hearing loss, especially over time.
在一项实验设计中评估了对后天性听力损失患者进行行为咨询的效果。该研究纳入了一组20名听力受损患者,他们接受了评估并被随机分配到治疗组或对照组。然后根据功能分析结果为10名患者提供了个性化的行为咨询,其中包括“听力策略”的教学。在咨询前、咨询后以及15个月的随访时对两组进行了三次测量,之后对治疗结果进行了分析。显著的(时间×治疗)交互作用之后进行了事后检验,结果显示治疗组在多个功能领域有所改善,而对照组则没有。这些结果与访谈数据一致。研究结果表明,针对听力策略的行为咨询方法有助于听力损失的理解和康复,尤其是随着时间推移。
