摘要

介绍。2019冠状病毒病大流行严重影响了人类生活的许多方面,特别是医疗保健和社会服务。由于担心可能产生严重后果的传染病,老年人与家人和朋友的接触以及他们的社会活动已大大减少。由于语音信号的强度降低和质量模糊,以及由于戴口罩而缺乏视觉线索,身体距离和强制性防护口罩等预防措施给听障人士带来了额外的挑战。目标。该研究旨在确定成年助听器用户在Covid-19大流行期间面临的挑战。方法。为了本研究的目的,我们设计了一份特殊的问卷,采用李克特3点量表。结果。研究结果表明,在大流行期间与他人进行有效沟通对听力受损的参与者来说是一个巨大的挑战。他们指出,由于害怕误解他人,他们会戴口罩,避免与他人交流。参与者注意到助听器在听力方面的一些变化,以及情绪波动和对助听器的依从性。大多数参与者对获得助听器、装配和维修服务感到满意,但没有人获得康复和咨询支持。结论。新冠肺炎大流行表明,有必要建立一个外科替代方法和途径网络,为听障人士提供咨询和康复服务,并为助听器使用者提供技术支持。这将是为助听器用户提供持续支持的方式,不仅在极端情况下,如大流行,而且在日常生活中增加所有用户获得这些服务的机会。

Challenges of adult users of hearing amplification during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction. The Covid-19 pandemic has considerably affected many aspects of human life, especially healthcare and social services. The contacts of elderly people with family and friends, as well as their social activities, have been drastically reduced due to fear of contagious diseases with potentially serious consequences. Preventive measures of physical distancing and obligatory protective masks have brought additional challenges for hearing-impaired persons because of the decreased intensity and muffled quality of speech signals as well as the lack of visual cues because of the face masks. Objective. The study aimed to identify the challenges that adult hearing aid users faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods. A special questionnaire was developed for the purpose of this study with a 3-point Likert type of scale. Results. The results of the study have shown that effective communication with other people during the pandemic was a great challenge for hearing-impaired participants. They pointed out the use of face masks and avoidance of communication with other people due to the fear of misunderstanding others. The participants noticed some changes in listening with hearing aids as well as mood swings and compliance to hearing aids. Most of the participants were satisfied with the access to hearing aids, fitting, and repair services, but none of them had access to rehabilitation and advisory support. Conclusion. The Covid-19 pandemic revealed the need for developing a network for alternative methods and approaches in surdology to provide advisory and rehabilitation services for hearing-impaired people as well as technical support for hearing aid users. That would be the way to provide ongoing support for hearing aid users, not only in extreme situations, such as the pandemic, but to increase the accessibility of those services in everyday life for all users.
