Abstract:
Objective To study the hearing intervention effects of the Shokz condyle-stimulated headband bone-conduction hearing aid on patients with conductive,mixed,and sensorineural hearing loss and to explore its clinical application prospects.Methods A total of 55 patients with hearing loss(age 18～82)participated in the study.Among them,9 had conductive hearing loss,15 had sensorineural hearing loss,and 31 had mixed hearing loss.Their bilat-eral bone conduction pure tone thresholds at 0.5,1,2,and 4 kHz were all ≤60 dB HL.The patients were fitted with the condyle-stimulated headband bone-conduction hearing aid.Hearing thresholds in sound field,single-syllable speech recogni-tion scores in quiet,and sentence recognition thresholds in quiet were assessed before fitting and on the day of 14±2 after fitting to compare differences in results.The effectiveness of the hearing aids on the day of 14±2 after fitting was also eval-uated using the IOI-HA questionnaire.Results After wearing the bone-conduction hearing aid,the average hearing thresh-old and sentence recognition threshold of the patients decreased significantly compared with before fitting(the average hear-ing threshold:56.5±8.2 dB HL before fitting,39.3±4.9 dB HL on the day of 14±2 after fitting;sentence recognition threshold:48.6±9.7 dB HL before fitting,34.3±5.6 dB HL on the day of 14±2 after fitting),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The single-syllable speech recognition score before fitting was 29.8％±11.4％,and on the day of 14±2 after fitting,it was 72.4％±14.4％,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The av-erage total score of the IOI-HA questionnaire was 29.0±3.8 points.Conclusion Condyle-stimulated headband bone-con-duction hearing aids can significantly improve the hearing and speech recognition ability of patients with conductive,mixed and sensorineural hearing loss whose bone conduction pure tone thresholds at 0.5～4 kHz were ≤60 dB HL.It may poten-tially improve the quality of life for patients with hearing loss and holds substantial clinical application value.
