摘要
背景和目的:使用助听器是听力损失患者常用的康复方法。本研究旨在探讨HA的使用是否会提高健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)。主题和。方法:挪威一家公共听力学部门的患者被邀请参加这项介入前后研究。RAND-SF-36是一份通用的HRQoL问卷，在HA拟合前和拟合后三个月对参与者进行调查。根据性别、年龄和耳鸣的存在分析整个组和亚组HRQoL维度的变化。结果:共有202名成年人(男性109名;平均年龄66.68岁[SD=10.92])纳入研究。平均观察时间91.63 d (SD=45.61)后，疼痛和一般健康状况明显改善。年龄≥70岁无耳鸣的女性社会功能改善，而男性社会功能变老。结论:轻度听力损失的成年人在HA安装后三个月的总体健康状况较术前改善，身体疼痛减轻。患者亚组报告总体健康和社会功能有所改善。然而，由于方法的限制，因果关系仍然不确定。一项随机对照试验和更长的随访时间可以澄清这些问题。
Effects of Receiving Hearing Aids on Health-Related Quality of Life in Adults With Mild Hearing Loss.
Background and objectives: Hearing aid (HA) use is a common rehabilitation method for people with hearing loss. This study aimed to investigate whether the use of HA will advance the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Subjects and.
Methods: Patients referred to a public audiological department in Norway were invited to participate in this pre-post interventional study. The RAND-SF-36, a generic HRQoL questionnaire, was administered to the participants before and three months after HA fitting. Changes in HRQoL dimensions were analyzed for the whole group and for subgroups based on sex, age, and presence of tinnitus.
Results: A total of 202 adults (109 men; mean age, 66.68 years [SD=10.92]) were included in the study. After a mean observation time of 91.63 days (SD=45.61), pain and general health significantly improved. Women aged ≥70 years without tinnitus improved in social functioning, while men aged <70 years with tinnitus improved in general health.
Conclusions: Adults with mild hearing loss reported better general health and less bodily pain three months after HA fitting than before. The patient subgroups reported improved general health and social functioning. However, causation remains uncertain because of methodological limitations. A randomized, controlled trial with a longer follow-up time could clarify such issues.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Audiology and Otology (JAO) (formerly known as Korean Journal of Audiology) aims to publish the most advanced findings for all aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear using state-of-the-art techniques and analyses. The journal covers recent trends related to the topics of audiology, otology, and neurotology conducted by professionals, with the goal of providing better possible treatment to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who suffer from auditory and/or vestibular disorders and thus, improving their quality of life. This journal encourages the submission of review papers about current professional issues, research papers presenting a scientific base and clinical application, and case papers with unique reports or clinical trials. We also invite letters to the editor and papers related to the manufacture and distribution of medical devices. This journal provides integrated views from otologists, audiologists, and other healthcare practitioners, offering readers high quality scientific and clinical information. This peer-reviewed and open access journal has been the official journal of the Korean Audiological Society since 1997 and of both the Korean Audiological Society and the Korean Otological Society since 2017. It is published in English four times a year in January, April, July, and October.
