Abstract

Purpose: Bimodal children showed various improvements in speech, language, and music perception. The purpose of this study is to investigate bimodal benefits and bimodal hearing aid fitting of cochlear implant children with a retrospective chart review.Methods: A total of 44 charts of cochlear implant children were retrospectively reviewed in this study. Hearing thresholds, word recognition scores, and hearing aid fitting procedures were reviewed and summarized.Results: Bimodal children showed 4%points improvements in word recognition scores and 30~40 gains across frequencies with hearing aids. For bimodal hearing aid fitting, all children used desired sensation level v5 fitting formula with wide frequency bands. Real ear measurements were performed to match with targets and loudness balancing across ears was also conducted. Hearing thresholds with and without hearing aids were not correlated with word recognition scores in bimodal condition.Conclusion: Bimodal children showed improved hearing thresholds with hearing aids and little bimodal benefits in word recognition tests. Additional protocols including speech in noise tests, subjective questionnaires are recommended to evaluate bimodal benefits.

儿童人工耳蜗双峰获益的回顾性研究

目的:双峰儿童在言语、语言和音乐感知方面表现出不同程度的改善。本研究的目的是通过回顾性的图表回顾来探讨儿童人工耳蜗的双模益处和双模助听器安装。方法:对44例人工耳蜗患儿的临床资料进行回顾性分析。听力阈值，单词识别分数，和助听器装配程序进行了回顾和总结。结果:使用助听器的双峰儿童在单词识别得分上提高了4%，在不同频率上提高了30~40分。对于双峰助听器配戴，所有儿童都使用所需的感觉等级v5宽频带配戴配方。实耳测量与目标相匹配，并进行了跨耳响度平衡。在双模态条件下，助听器和不助听器的听力阈值与单词识别得分无关。结论:使用助听器后，双峰儿童的听力阈值有所提高，但在单词识别测试中，双峰儿童的获益不大。建议采用其他方案，包括噪音测试中的语音、主观问卷来评估双峰效益。
