Beneficios del uso de sistema de micrófono remoto en el hogar: una revisión panorámica

Introduction

Remote microphones are devices that improve the signal-to-noise ratio in unfavorable acoustic environments. Although there is evidence of its effectiveness in school settings, there is a lack of information about the communicative benefits and access to speech at home.

Objective

Determine the benefits of using a remote microphone at home in the child and adolescent population.

Method

A panoramic review was carried out in EBSCO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, using specific search terms. Of the 77 articles found, 5 met the inclusion criteria.

Results

Improvements in receptive speech and a 42% loss of acoustic information were found when not using the device at home. Parents highlight benefits in vocabulary acquisition and attention in noisy environments.

Conclusion

Using remote microphones at home is promising and further research is recommended.
