Abstract
Objective:The purpose of this study was to inquiry into the application of mandarin acceptable noise level(M-ANL) and client oriented scale of improvement in evaluation of hearing aid fitting for presbyacusis. Method:Thirty-two adults with presbycusis who used the hearing aid for the first time were selected for the study. M-ANL tests were done prior to the hearing aid fitting. Six weeks later, these patients were asked to fill in questionnaire of client oriented scale of improvement (COSI).The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the time of hearing aid using in their daily lives: less than one hour per day, 1 to 4 hours per day and more than 4 hours per day. The relativity of M-ANL and the score of COSI were compared. Result:①There were significant differences of the M-ANL among 3 groups(P<0.05); ②The scores of COSI of group 1(less than one hour per day) was lower than group 2(1 to 4 hours per day), while there were no significant differences between the scores of group 2(1 to 4 hours per day) and group 3(more than 4 hours per day); ③There was good correlation between the score of M-ANL and COSI. Conclusion:M-ANL can forecast the satisfaction of hearing aids fitting. And COSI can play an effective role in outcome measurement.
