Abstract

Background and Aim: The Acceptance Noise Level (ANL) which determines the tolerable noise level while listening to running speech, is related to factors such as hearing loss and speech presentation level. This study aims to investigate the effect of speech presentation level on the ANL in people with unilateral Meniere’s Disease (MD) compared to the normal-hearing people. Methods: In this study, 33 people aged 32–60 years with unilateral MD and 38 normal-hearing people aged 20–46 years participated. The ANL growth was evaluated unilaterally at four different speech presentation levels: Most Comfortable Level (MCL), –10 dB lower than the MCL, +10 dB higher than the MCL, and a range between MCL and uncomfortable level. Results: In MD patients, the ANL of the affected ear was significantly different from that of the contralateral ear (p<0.010). Compared to the normal-hearing people, the pattern of ANL growth in MD patients was significantly different, but the ANL growth patterns were similar between the affected and contralateral ears. Conclusion: ANL and its growth pattern are different between the affected and contralateral ears of patients with unilateral MD, but are similar compared to normal-hearing people. Despite the apparently normal hearing thresholds, the performance of the contralateral ear in noise at various speech presentation levels in patients with unilateral MD seems to be similar to that of the affected ear. Keywords: Meniere disease; hearing loss; acceptable noise level

对侧正常耳的可接受噪声水平增长模式与单侧梅尼埃氏病的影响耳相似吗?
背景和目的:可接受噪声水平(ANL)决定了听跑步语音时的可容忍噪声水平,它与听力损失和语音呈现水平等因素有关。本研究旨在调查与听力正常的人相比,单侧梅尼埃病(MD)患者的言语呈现水平对ANL的影响。方法:在本研究中,33名年龄在32-60岁的单侧MD患者和38名年龄在20-46岁的正常听力人群参与了研究。ANL的增长是在四个不同的语音呈现水平下单方面评估的:最舒适水平(MCL),比MCL低-10dB,比MCL高+10dB,以及MCL和不舒适水平之间的范围。结果:在MD患者中,患耳的ANL与对侧耳朵的ANL有显著差异(p<0.010)。与正常听力人群相比,MD患者的ANL生长模式有显著差异,但患耳和对侧耳朵之间的ANL增长模式相似。结论:单侧MD患者的ANL及其生长模式在患侧和对侧耳朵之间不同,但与正常听力人群相比相似。尽管听力阈值明显正常,但单侧MD患者对侧耳朵在不同语音呈现水平的噪声中的表现似乎与受影响耳朵相似。关键词:梅尼埃病;听力丧失可接受噪声级
