摘要对远程麦克风助听器对听力加工障碍或阅读障碍儿童的助听效果的研究表明，助听器的助听效果和治疗效果一致。直接的辅助益处包括提高注意力、学习、行为和课堂参与度，以及提高自尊和社会心理发展。长期的治疗益处包括改善皮层听觉诱发电位对音调刺激的幅度、听觉脑干对语音刺激的反应、频率辨别、双耳时间分辨率、频率模式识别、听觉工作记忆、核心语言、语音意识和空间分离噪声中的语音感知。放大似乎可以同时治疗多种听觉技能，促进神经再生改变，同时也提供了进入听觉世界的途径。专家介入，争取教师的支持，是取得成功成果的关键因素。接受远程麦克风助听器治疗的儿童可能不需要长期放大。
Abstract Studies of the effects of amplification with remote microphone hearing aids for children with auditory processing disorder or dyslexia consistently show therapeutic as well as assistive benefits from the amplification. The immediate assistive benefits include improved attention, learning, behavior and participation in class, and improved self-esteem and psychosocial development. The long-term therapeutic benefits include improvements in cortical auditory evoked potential amplitudes to tone stimuli, auditory brainstem responses to speech stimuli, frequency discrimination, binaural temporal resolution, frequency pattern recognition, auditory working memory, core language, phonological awareness, and speech perception in spatially separated noise. Amplification appears to treat a wide range of auditory skills simultaneously, facilitating neuroplastic change while also providing access to the auditory world. Expert intervention to engage the support of teachers is a critical element in achieving successful outcomes. Children treated with remote microphone hearing aids may not require long-term amplification.
