초록

Auditory training is known as effective to enhance communication and listening strategy, especially when old listeners need to understand low-redundancy speech in noisy environment. In this study, 70-year-old man who has used a hearing aid for five years participated in 8-week auditory training program. The training program has focused on recognition of time-compressed sentences and sentences in noise. To examine whether the participant received benefit from training, we evaluated the listener’s speech recognition ability as well as subjective responses from the SADL (Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life) and IOI-HA (International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids) questionnaires. The results showed that performances in time-compressed sentences and sentences in noise were increased after 8-week auditory training. The training benefit was the greatest in more difficult conditions compared to relatively easier conditions. The participant’s subjective responses of SADL and IOI-HA questionnaires also revealed higher satisfaction with hearing aid after auditory training. In conclusion, 8-week auditory training is likely to be beneficial to hearing aid users to understand communication in difficult condition, which may lead to improve subjective satisfaction with hearing aid.

Abstract

Auditory training is known as effective to enhance communication and listening strategy, especially when old listeners need to understand low-redundancy speech in noisy environment.

The training program has focused on recognition of time-compressed sentences and sentences in noise. To examine whether the participant received benefit from training, we evaluated the listener’s speech recognition ability as well as subjective responses from the SADL (Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life) and IOI-HA (International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids) questionnaires. The results showed that performances in time-compressed sentences and sentences in noise were increased after 8-week auditory training. The training benefit was the greatest in more difficult conditions compared to relatively easier conditions. The participant’s subjective responses of SADL and IOI-HA questionnaires also revealed higher satisfaction with hearing aid after auditory training. In conclusion, 8-week auditory training is likely to be beneficial to hearing aid users to understand communication in difficult condition, which may lead to improve subjective satisfaction with hearing aid.
