Establishment and Application of the Tuneup Platform of Hearing Ability Evaluation
To establish a fine hearing ability assessment platform independently
explore the feasibility and the advantage of this platform
and preliminarily understand the Mandarin vowels
consonants
tones and musical melody performance of people with normal hearing
mild to moderate loss
moderate to severe loss and cochlear implant.
Methods
2
Based on the clinical test methods of fine hearing ability
such as speech test and melody discrimination test
the evaluation platform of fine hearing ability is built. The test content of this platform includes 4 parts: vowel
consonant
tone and music melody. From January to early June 2023
subjects with different hearing levels were recruited for testing. According to the PTA of 0.5
1
2 and 4 kHz
subjects were divided into normal hearing group (12 ears)
mild to moderate hearing loss group (11 ears)
moderate to severe hearing loss group (11 ears)
and cochlear implant group (21 ears). The self-established fine hearing ability assessment software was used to test in a quiet environment. The test data were statistically analyzed.
Results
2
(1) The fine hearing ability evaluation platform ran well in the 55-ear test
and the test results could be displayed immediately
with outstanding advantages in convenience and user experience. (2) The software test results are consistent with the trend of pure tone hearing threshold test results
that is
the more the pure tone hearing threshold declines
the worse the fine hearing ability. Different modules have different sensitivity to fine auditory ability assessment
which can measure the ability of subjects to process complex auditory information and make up for the deficiency of pure tone audiometry. That proves the developed software has good evaluation efficiency.(3) After basic hearing training
children with cochlear implant can achieve a good level of simple fine hearing such as vowels and consonants
but they still perform poorly for fine hearing with more complex tones and musical melodies. In addition
the hearing threshold of cochlear implant patients is similar to that of mild-moderate hearing loss
but it is still worse than that of such patients.
Conclusion
2
This study has confirmed the practicability of this platform for fine hearing ability assessment
which is expected to be further extended to the diagnosis and treatment system of hearing loss patients and the evaluation system of rehabilitation effect after auditory intervention
which has theoretical and application value.
