目的人工耳蜗 (CI) 的性能因个体和听觉功能领域的不同而存在很大差异，但临床测试通常仅限于言语清晰度。本研究的目标是 (a) 开发一套基本听觉技能评估测试，以全面评估听觉感知的生态相关方面；(b) 比较 CI 听众在实验室由听力学家或在家独立测试时的表现。方法该电池包括 17 项测试，以评估 (a) 基本频谱时间处理，(b) 音乐和环境声音的处理，以及 (c) 安静和背景噪声中的语音感知。电池攻击是在网上对三组成年听众进行的：两组语后 CI 听众和一组年龄相近的老年正常听力 (ONH) 听众。 ONH 组和一个 CI 组由听力学家在实验室进行测试，而另一 CI 组则按照在线说明在家中独立进行自我测试。 结果结果表明 CI 组的表现存在很大差异，但 ONH 听众则不然。在任何测试中，两个 CI 组之间均未发现显着差异，而在除两项测试之外的所有测试中，CI 听众的表现均低于 ONH 参与者。主成分分析显示，四个成分占测量结果方差的 82%，成分负载表明测试组成功捕获了听觉感知各个维度的差异。结论这些结果为使用基本听觉技能评估组对成人 CI 听众的听觉技能进行全面在线评估提供了初步支持。
PurposeCochlear implant (CI) performance varies considerably across individuals and across domains of auditory function, but clinical testing is typically restricted to speech intelligibility. The goals of this study were (a) to develop a basic auditory skills evaluation battery of tests for comprehensive assessment of ecologically relevant aspects of auditory perception and (b) to compare CI listeners' performance on the battery when tested in the laboratory by an audiologist or independently at home.MethodThe battery included 17 tests to evaluate (a) basic spectrotemporal processing, (b) processing of music and environmental sounds, and (c) speech perception in both quiet and background noise. The battery was administered online to three groups of adult listeners: two groups of postlingual CI listeners and a group of older normal-hearing (ONH) listeners of similar age. The ONH group and one CI group were tested in a laboratory by an audiologist, whereas the other CI group self-tested independently at home following online instructions.ResultsResults indicated a wide range in the performance of CI but not ONH listeners. Significant differences were not found between the two CI groups on any test, whereas on all but two tests, CI listeners' performance was lower than that of the ONH participants. Principal component analysis revealed that four components accounted for 82% of the variance in measured results, with component loading indicating that the test battery successfully captures differences across dimensions of auditory perception.ConclusionsThese results provide initial support for the use of the basic auditory skills evaluation battery for comprehensive online assessment of auditory skills in adult CI listeners.
