摘要

虚拟现实技术作为一种创新工具，在听力学领域中的应用逐渐成为研究热点。目前，虚拟现实技术在听力康复方面的可行性已在实验阶段被证实。本文检索近年国内外相关文献，基于虚拟现实技术在国内外听力评估与听力康复中的研究现状，分析虚拟现实技术在临床听力评估中应用的挑战，以探究其在临床听力评估中的发展潜力，为相关临床实践和研究提供思路。

Abstract

As an innovative tool

virtual reality (VR) technology is progressively emerging as a research focus in audiology. At present

the feasibility of VR technology in hearing rehabilitation has been verified during the experimental phase. This article reviews the latest papers

which are mainly on the current research of VR technology in audiology and hearing rehabilitation. This paper analyzes the challenges associated with the of VR technology in clinical audiology assessment. The aim is to explore its developmental potential in clinical audiology and to provide insights for future clinical practice and research.
