Estudo do benefício e da aclimatização em novos usuários de próteses auditivas

Abstract

short-term benefits were obtained with the use of hearing aids, however the phenomenon of acclimatization was not observed through the SRPI.

“…It was also essential to consider auditory training as a directly supportive measure for improved speech recognition. 2 Another study aimed to verify possible evidences of functional plasticity in the auditory system; 17 its results were consistent with the effects of auditory perceptual acclimatization, thereby suggesting that hearing aid adaptation induces functional plasticity of the auditory system. 17 The PSL 6 test was applied in a study7 that monitored the first three months of new hearing aid users, and found perceptual acclimatization.…”

“…Such stimulation may foster plasticity in the auditory system and in time improve speech recognition . 2 The time period related to improved performance in speech recognition tests for adaptation of a hearing aid, as subjects learn to use new available speech cues with amplification, is named perceptual acclimatization. 3 The effect of perceptual acclimatization is to systematically change hearing performance with time; this is unrelated to changes in available acoustic information for hearing aid users.…”

“…The auditory prosthesis-user subjects evaluated showed a time of use of between 4 months and 6 years (mean= 23.6 months) (2). The test was performed at 50 dBNS considering the mean frequencies of 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz, or the most comfortable intensity, ranging from 55 dBNA to 75 dBNA.…”
