Abstract

Objective. To analyze the results of AudBility's online screening in the elderly to assess its viability. Methodology. The study included 40 elderly participants (mean age 67.4 years). They underwent online AudBility screening and completed a self-assessment questionnaire along with tests assessing seven auditory skills: sound localization (SL), dichotic digits task, speech perception in noise, auditory closure, staggered dichotic words test (SDW), temporal resolution, and temporal ordering. Descriptive data analysis considered AudBility's reference parameters: <50% = abnormal, 51-79% caution, >80% = normal. Results. The tests with the highest frequency of abnormalities were SL and temporal ordering frequency (TOF), both with 22.5%. On average, these tests were considered as "caution" (SL = 72.75%; TOF = 67.5%). The self-assessment questionnaire had the highest frequency of "caution" results (52.5%), followed by SDW (35%) and TOF (32.5%). On average, the self-assessment questionnaire and TOF showed caution values (74.41% and 67.5%, respectively). SDW had normal average values (81.5%). No test showed abnormal average values. Conclusion. Auditory screening using AudBility can serve as an entry point for assessing auditory and cognitive health in the elderly population, guiding referrals and therapies before in-person interventions.
老年人在线听觉能力筛查:初步考虑
目的分析 AudBility 对老年人进行在线筛查的结果,以评估其可行性。研究对象包括 40 名老年人(平均年龄 67.4 岁)。他们接受了AudBility在线筛查,并完成了自我评估问卷以及七项听觉技能评估测试:声音定位(SL)、二分法任务、噪音中的言语感知、听觉闭合、交错二分法单词测试(SDW)、时间分辨率和时间排序。描述性数据分析考虑了 AudBility 的参考参数:80% = 正常。异常频率最高的测试是SL和颞排序频率(TOF),均为22.5%。平均而言,这些测试被视为 "谨慎"(SL = 72.75%;TOF = 67.5%)。自我评估问卷中出现 "谨慎 "结果的频率最高(52.5%),其次是 SDW(35%)和 TOF(32.5%)。平均而言,自评问卷和 TOF 的结果显示为谨慎值(分别为 74.41% 和 67.5%)。SDW的平均值正常(81.5%)。没有一项测试的平均值出现异常。使用 AudBility 进行听觉筛查可作为评估老年人听觉和认知健康状况的切入点,在面对面干预之前为转诊和治疗提供指导。
