Abstract

Introduction  The voice and hearing can be affected to different degrees by aging, which can cause communication difficulties for elderly people. Vocal production requires effective temporal auditory processing at central levels within the nervous system, which can be compromised by the aging process. Objective  To analyze the correlation between voice and temporal auditory processing in older adults. Materials and Methods  A total of 40 elderly people aged 60 years or older were subdivided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of vocal symptoms measured by the Voice Symptom Scale. All of the participants were submitted to auditory temporal tests, vocal self-assessment, and acoustic and perceptual auditory analyses of voice. Results  Most of the subjects assessed had decreased voice intensity and normal variability in terms of vocal quality. The performance was normal in the Pitch Pattern Sequence test and altered in the Random Gap Detection test. In the Masking Period Pattern test, the detection thresholds for the target signal were increased in the presence of masking in different temporal target signal positions. Only pitch differed between the two groups. There were differences between the genders regarding frequency, shimmer, the overall severity of the alteration, and roughness. There was a correlation regarding temporal resolution ability and the overall severity of the alteration and roughness of the voice. Conclusion  There is a central auditory impairment in temporal resolution which is correlated with vocal alterations in the elderly.

老年人的声音和时态听觉处理:相关性研究
导言:嗓音和听力会因衰老而受到不同程度的影响,从而导致老年人交流困难。发声需要神经系统中枢层面有效的时间听觉处理,而这可能会因衰老过程而受到影响。目的 分析老年人发声与时间听觉处理之间的相关性。材料与方法 根据嗓音症状量表(Voice Symptom Scale)测量的嗓音症状存在与否,将 40 名 60 岁或以上的老年人分为两组。所有受试者均接受了听觉时间测试、发声自我评估以及嗓音声学和知觉听觉分析。结果 大多数受测者的声音强度有所下降,声音质量的可变性正常。在音高模式序列测试中,受试者的表现正常,而在随机间隙检测测试中,受试者的表现有所改变。在掩蔽周期模式测试中,目标信号的检测阈值在不同时间目标信号位置存在掩蔽的情况下均有所提高。两组之间只有音高存在差异。在频率、光泽、整体改变的严重程度和粗糙度方面,性别之间存在差异。时间分辨能力与声音变化的整体严重程度和粗糙度存在相关性。结论 老年人的听觉中枢在时间分辨率方面存在障碍,这与嗓音改变有关。
