Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate hearing in noise ability for post COVID-19 patients using the Complete Intelligibility Spatiality Quality (CISQ) questionnaire and Arabic Version of Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Patients and Methods: Thirty subjects diagnosed by PCR as covid-19 virus positive were included in this study. Their ages ranged from 20 to 53 years. All participates were subjected to full audiological history, basic audiological evaluation including, complete intelligibility spatiality quality questionnaire (Arabic CISQ) and Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Results: HINT results, revealed a strong statistically significant difference when compared to normal in all Noise conditions. As regards Complete Intelligibility Spatiality Quality questionnaire (Arabic CISQ), the results were highly statistically significant in averseness, background noise intelligibility and spatiality subscales. Conclusion: Post covid-19 infection, many subjects have a difficulty in speech discrimination in noise and also have difficulty in hearing specific loud sound. Further research in central auditory processing abilities post COVID-19 is recommended.

语音噪音能力后COVID-19

目的:采用完全可理解性空间质量(CISQ)问卷和阿拉伯语版噪音听力测试(HINT)评估新冠肺炎后患者的噪音听力能力。患者和方法:本研究纳入30例经PCR诊断为covid-19病毒阳性的受试者。他们的年龄从20岁到53岁不等。所有参与者都接受了完整的听力学史、基本听力学评估，包括完整的可听性空间质量问卷(阿拉伯语CISQ)和噪音听力测试(HINT)。结果:在所有噪声条件下，与正常情况相比，HINT结果显示有明显的统计学差异。在完全可理解性空间质量问卷(阿拉伯语CISQ)中，调查结果在厌恶性、背景噪声可理解性和空间性三个分量表上具有高度统计学意义。结论:感染新冠肺炎后，许多受试者在噪音中存在言语识别困难，也存在特定大声声音听不清的困难。建议进一步研究COVID-19后的中央听觉处理能力。
