| ABSTRACT |
|
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of auditory training using sentences under noisy circumstance
in experienced hearing aids users. A total of 20 adult hearing aids users was participated. All participants had
hearing aid experience for 1 ~ 3 years. They were divided into two groups: training group (mean age = 28.6) and
non-training group (mean age = 30.2). Two 40-min sessions per a week proceeded for 6 weeks using K-SPIN
sentences in noise at 0, 3, 6 dB SNR conditions. Satisfaction questionnaires (APHAB and COSI) were addressed at
pre- and post auditory training. After completion of all training sessions, untrained materials, one syllable words at 0 dB
SNR condition and sentences at 0, 3, 6 dB SNR conditions were assessed. Also, after auditory training in 1 month,
sentences in noise test was reassessed for retention in auditory training group (ATG) only. Results showed there was
significant improvement in word recognition and sentences understanding in noise environment in ATG. In ATG, their
performance of sentence understanding in noise was maintained in 1 week. Also, results of satisfaction questionnaires
showed that satisfaction rates of speech understanding and their own devices were significantly improved after auditory
training. Taken together, auditory training using sentences in noise was effective to experienced hearing aid users. In the
future, more follow-up studies should be continued for development of systematical auditory training program. |
