| ABSTRACT |
Purpose:
A 43-year-old woman diagnosed with a sudden sensorineural hearing loss. She did not accept her hearing loss and did not want to wear hearing aids, but her communication ability was the problem in her workplace. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of auditory training for improving communication ability through listening activities, and for accepting her hearing loss and wearing a hearing aid continuously through informational counseling.
Method:
Receiver in canal hearing aid was selected for the left ear. Auditory training was conducted seven sessions for 30 mins listening activities and 10 minutes informational counseling. For listening activities, long stories were used, and for informational counseling, effects of hearing loss on communication, knowledge of hearing aids and emotional well-being were provided. Also, we simulated her workplace for training sessions. As objective assessments, word and sentence recognition scores were tested and as a subjective assessment, Korean Version of Profile Hearing Aid Benefit (K-PHAB) was conducted.
Results:
The recognition scores of word and sentence were improved after the auditory training. However, scores of KPHAB were not changed. The subject reported that she did not feel that her communication ability did not improve a lot, but she would maintain to use her hearing aid.
Conclusion:
Even though the subjective hearing aid benefit was not improved, behaviors of the subject were changed after the auditory training. Informational counseling is efficacy to understand and accept hearing loss and hearing aids. |
