The effectiveness of FM auditory trainers, conventional hearing aids, and CROS aids in six children with varying degrees of unilateral hearing loss was compared. Word recognition unaided and with each of the forms of amplification was evaluated both in quiet and in noise in a classroom. With the conventional hearing aid and CROS aid fittings, word recognition actually decreased in noise. With the FM trainer, word recognition improved significantly in both quiet and noise. All six unilaterally hearing impaired (UHI) children experienced significantly better performance with the FM trainer. The children with the most loss derived the greatest benefit.
比较了调频听觉训练器、传统助听器和对侧信号互传助听器对6名不同程度单侧听力损失儿童的效果。在安静环境和教室噪音环境下，分别评估了不使用辅助设备以及使用每种放大设备时的单词识别能力。使用传统助听器和对侧信号互传助听器时，单词识别能力在噪音环境中实际上有所下降。使用调频听觉训练器时，安静环境和噪音环境下的单词识别能力均有显著提高。所有6名单侧听力受损（UHI）儿童使用调频听觉训练器时的表现均显著更好。听力损失最严重的儿童受益最大。
