Abstract

Background and objective

The purpose of a prosthetic adaptation is not only to improve language understanding and sound recognition, but to improve the patient's quality of life.

The purpose of this investigation is to measure quality of life of patients with hearing aids, and investigate which sociodemographic, audiological and audioprosthetic variables affect it.

Material and methods

Multicenter cross-sectional descriptive study in the Community of Madrid (España). Sample 54 patients and Effectiveness of Auditory Rehabilitation (EAR) scale was used.

Results

Mean age 66.4 years; 55.6% men. The mean score of 10 audiological EAR items was 64.54 (SD 16.43). The mean score of 10 ear audioprosthetic items was 71.84 (SD 13.49).

Age, sex, work activity, level of education, degree of hearing loss, logoaudiometry results, free field, number and format of hearing aids, prescriber of the prostheses and year of manufacture of the prostheses, are associated with different items of the EAR scale (P < .05).

Conclusions

The audiological quality of life ranges from regular to good, and audioprosthetics is close to good.

Younger age, female sex and work activity are associated with better quality of life. People with good logoaudiometric results are associated with better quality of life. Monaural adaptations, retroauricular hearing aids, more modern hearing aids and that the patient does not self-describe hearing aids, are associated with better quality of life.

Hearing aids improve the quality of life of patients, provided that sociodemographic, audiological and audioprosthetic characteristics, specific to each patient are taken into account to make a personalized and optimal audioprosthetic adjustment.

与马德里（西班牙）助听器患者生活质量相关的社会人口、听力和听觉因素。

背景和目的义肢适配的目的不仅是提高语言理解能力和声音识别能力，还包括提高患者的生活质量。这项调查的目的是测量助听器患者的生活质量，并研究社会人口学、听力学和义肢变量对生活质量的影响。结果平均年龄 66.4 岁；55.6% 为男性。EAR 10 个听力项目的平均得分为 64.54（SD 16.43）。年龄、性别、工作活动、教育程度、听力损失程度、对数测听结果、自由场、助听器的数量和形式、假体的开具者和假体的制造年份与 EAR 量表的不同项目相关（P < .05）。结论听力生活质量从一般到良好不等，而修复术接近良好。对数测听结果好的人生活质量更高。单耳适配、耳后助听器、更现代的助听器以及患者不自行描述助听器，都与更好的生活质量有关。助听器可提高患者的生活质量，但前提是必须考虑到每个患者的社会人口学、听力学和听觉矫形器特征，以进行个性化和最佳的听觉矫形器调整。
