摘要
目的:本研究比较了使用颈带式自配装置进行的简化的原位自我听力筛查测试与传统的纯音测听。它评估了筛选的最大语音噪声水平(MSNLS),这对于评估在安静环境中进行现场筛选试验的可行性至关重要。方法:本研究包括30名听力正常的成年人和30名轻至中重度听力障碍的成年人。研制了一种双耳颈带式自适配装置。将使用自适应装置进行的原位听力筛选测试结果与使用TDH-50耳机进行的传统纯音测听所获得的结果进行比较。随后,通过评估噪声掩蔽效应对筛查结果的影响来确定MSNLS。所有测试均在听力学测试室进行,听力筛查测试在舱门打开的情况下进行。结果:纯音测听与听力筛查测试结果在所有测试频率下均呈强正相关,其中在2000 Hz时相关性最强(rs = 0.793, P rs = 0.625, P 30 dB HL),适用于该设备的分别为93%和90%。听力受损组表现出的最大声压弱,如500hz时的57 dB SPL,超过了空教室的环境噪声水平。结论:使用自拟合装置进行的原位听力筛查试验在一般安静环境下的自拟合场景中具有合理的准确性。该测试可用于监测轻度至中度听力损失或波动性听力损失,例如与mims病相关的听力损失。
Validation of an In Situ Self-Administered Hearing Test with a Self-Fitting Device for Mild to Moderately Severe Hearing Loss in Various Acoustic Environments.
Objectives: This study compared a simplified in situ self-administered hearing screening test, conducted with a neckband-type self-fitting device, with conventional pure-tone audiometry. It evaluated the maximum speech-shaped noise level for screening (MSNLS), crucial for evaluating the feasibility of this in situ screening test in quiet environments.
Methods: This study included 30 adults with normal hearing and 30 adults with mild to moderately severe hearing impairment. A binaural neckband-type self-fitting device was developed. The results of an in situ hearing screening test conducted using the self-fitting device were compared with those obtained using traditional pure-tone audiometry conducted using TDH-50 earphones. Subsequently, MSNLS was determined by assessing noise-masking effects on screening outcomes. All tests were conducted in an audiometric booth, with the hearing screening test conducted in the booth with the door open.
Results: Strong positive correlations were observed between the results of pure-tone audiometry and those of hearing screening tests across all test frequencies, with the strongest correlation observed at 2000 Hz (rs = 0.793, P < .001) and the weakest correlation observed at 500 Hz (rs = 0.625, P < .001). Comparisons of screening tests results with pure-tone thresholds across all test frequencies revealed differences of approximately 10 dB HL for 80% of all ears. The sensitivity and specificity of the hearing screening test in detecting candidates with hearing loss (>30 dB HL) who are suitable for this device were 93% and 90%, respectively. The hearing-impaired group exhibited MSNLSs, such as 57 dB SPL at 500 Hz, exceeding ambient noise levels in an empty classroom.
Conclusion: The in situ hearing screening test, conducted using a self-fitting device, exhibited reasonable accuracy for self-fitting scenarios in general quiet environments. This test can be used for monitoring mild to moderate hearing loss or fluctuating hearing loss, such as that associated with Ménière's disease.
