Abstract

Background: Deafness is a leading cause of disability worldwide. This prospective cohort study investigates the impact of cochlear implants on self-reported quality of life in post-lingually deaf adults.

Methods: The self-administered 36-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 and the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale questionnaires were prospectively used to investigate the impact of cochlear implants in 98 post-lingually deaf adults aged more than or equal to 50 years.

Results: Quality of life improved post-cochlear implant in the cumulative scores and scores for all domains of the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale (p < 0.05). QoL improved post-cochlear implant in the sub-domains related to cognition and participation in society of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the cumulative score. Subgroup analysis showed improvement in the participation in society domain only and only in males and participants aged younger than 75 years (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Cochlear implant improves quality of life in post-lingually deaf adults.

老年人工耳蜗植入者植入人工耳蜗后的生活质量：前瞻性队列研究

背景：耳聋是世界范围内致残的主要原因。这项前瞻性队列研究调查了人工耳蜗植入对语言失聪成人自我报告的生活质量的影响。方法：采用自填的36项世界卫生组织残疾评估表2.0和语音、空间和听力质量量表对98例50岁以上的语聋后成人进行人工耳蜗植入的影响进行前瞻性调查。结果：人工耳蜗植入后的生活质量在言语、空间和听力质量量表的累积得分和所有领域得分均有所改善（p < 0.05）。世界卫生组织残疾评估表2.0中认知和社会参与相关子域的生活质量改善了人工耳蜗后患者的生活质量（p < 0.05），但累积评分差异无统计学意义。亚组分析显示，只有男性和年龄小于75岁的参与者在社会领域的参与方面有所改善（p < 0.05）。结论：人工耳蜗可提高成人后语聋患者的生活质量。
