Abstract

Introduction: Balance and postural control are related to hearing and hearing loss, but whether they can be improved with hearing aid use in older adults is not clear. We systematically reviewed controlled studies in which balance and hearing were tested in experienced older hearing aid users to determine the potential effects of hearing aid use on balance.

Methods: The review was pre-registered in PROSPERO and performed in accordance with PRISMA. The question, inclusion, and exclusion criteria were defined using the Population, Intervention, Control, Outcomes and Study design (PICOS) framework. Older adults with hearing loss and no experience with hearing aids, or balance tests conducted without hearing aids in hearing aid users served as controls.

Results: A total of 803 studies were screened, eight of which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the final review. Five of the eight studies found a significant correlation between the use of hearing aids and the outcomes of the balance tests. The quality of the studies was limited or moderate. Key Discussion: The role of hearing aids in balance and postural control is unclear because of the quality of the papers and the sparse reporting of hearing status and hearing aids quality of fitting and use.

现有数据是否足以推断助听器有助于老年人的姿势控制和平衡？系统回顾。

导言：平衡和姿势控制与听力和听力损失有关，但老年人使用助听器能否改善平衡和姿势控制尚不清楚。我们系统地回顾了对有经验的老年助听器使用者进行平衡和听力测试的对照研究，以确定使用助听器对平衡的潜在影响：该综述已在 PROSPERO 中预先注册，并按照 PRISMA 进行。采用人群、干预、控制、结果和研究设计（PICOS）框架确定了问题、纳入和排除标准。有听力损失且未使用过助听器的老年人或助听器使用者在未使用助听器的情况下进行的平衡测试作为对照：共筛选出 803 项研究，其中 8 项符合纳入和排除标准，被纳入最终审查。八项研究中有五项发现助听器的使用与平衡测试结果之间存在显著相关性。这些研究的质量为有限或中等。主要讨论内容：助听器在平衡和姿势控制方面的作用尚不明确，这是因为论文的质量以及对听力状况和助听器的验配和使用质量的报道较少。

期刊介绍： Published since 1947, ''Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica'' provides a forum for international research on the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of structures of the speech, language, and hearing mechanisms. Original papers published in this journal report new findings on basic function, assessment, management, and test development in communication sciences and disorders, as well as experiments designed to test specific theories of speech, language, and hearing function. Review papers of high quality are also welcomed.
