听觉认知能力训练对老年听力障碍患者听力语言康复的影响OA

Objective:To explore the impact of auditory cognitive training on hearing and language rehabilitation in elderly patients with hearing impairment.Methods:A total of 80 elderly individuals with hearing impairment,ad-mitted to our hospital between June 2022 and June 2024,were enrolled in this study.They were assigned to a con-trol group and an observation group via the random number table method,with 40 participants in each group.The control group was subjected to traditional auditory training,while the observation group underwent auditory cogni-tive ability training.Both groups received a 3-month intervention.Comparisons were made between the two groups regarding auditory capability,language proficiency,speech and adaptive behaviors,communication skills,cognitive function,and brainstem auditory evoked potentials before and after the intervention.Results:After the interven-tion,the auditory ability,language ability,speech behavior,adaptive behavior,MoCA scores significantly higher than those before the intervention(P＜0.05),while the HHIE-S scores and the latencies of each wave of brainstem auditory evoked potentials in both groups were significantly lower than those before the intervention(P＜0.05).Moreover,the improvement amplitude of the above indicators in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Auditory cognitive training has a significant rehabilitation effect on elderly patients with hearing impairment.It can effectively improve their auditory,language and cognitive func-tions,optimize the conduction characteristics of brainstem auditory evoked potentials,and enhance communication a-bility.It provides a reliable basis for clinically optimizing intervention programs for elderly hearing impairment and has important application value.
