Formal auditory training in elderly hearing aid users.
UNLABELLED It is of paramount importance to install hearing rehabilitation programs for the elderly . AIM To check the efficacy of a forma auditory training program for elderly patients fitted with hearing aids for at least three months , by means of speech recognition tests and self- assessment question naires . METHODS Longitudinal contemporary cohort study . We selected 13 elderly hearing aid users , using intra-canal hearing aids in both ears , from both genders , with average age of 65.3 years . This group was r and omly divided in Experiment Group and Control Group . The Experiment Group underwent seven formal auditory training sessions , aim ing at stimulating their hearing skills for hearing closing , memory , attention , background figure and binaural integration . The participants were assessed by three behavioral tests and one self assessment question naire . RESULTS The elderly from the Experiment Group had significantly better performance in the assessment s after auditory training in comparison to the Control Group . CONCLUSION The formal auditory training program in a soundproof booth , associated with the use of hearing aids , improves speech recognition performance and reduces the perception of auditory h and icap for the elderly who use intra-canal hearing aids
