Abstract

Introduction: The use of hearing aids is one of the few efficient solutions for hearing lossin the elderly; modern hearing aids are effective in minimizing the negative consequences of hearing loss in daily functioning. Materials and Method: This study used the Short Form-36 Quality of Life survey to determine the effects of hearing aid use on the short-term general well-being of persons aged 65 andolder with sensorineural or mixed type hearing loss. Satisfaction with hearing aid use was evaluated using the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit survey.Results: Hearing aids not only increased communicative ability, but also boosted self-confidence. A unilateral hearing aid was found to be 75% useful in quiet places where communication was easy. An overall assessment of the Short Form -36 Quality of Life (SF-36) survey of theunilateral hearing aid users did not reveal any significant effect of the duration of hearing aid useon quality of life (p>0.05).Conclusion: In order to increase the level of satisfaction with hearing aids, the use of binaural aids should be supported. Depending on the degree of hearing loss, geriatric individuals mayneed to get professional help when using hearing assistance devices (for environmental factors).The International Classification of Functioning framework can provide a holistic perspective onthe evaluation of hearing aid use of the elderly. Therefore, it is recommended that valid surveysbe adapted for use with geriatric individuals.

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlılıkta işitme cihazları tedavi için bir seçenektir ve modern işitme cihazları da yaşlı bireylerin günlük fonksiyonlarında işitme kaybının negatif etkilerini azaltmakta etkilidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada sensörinöral veya mikst tipte işitme kaybı olan 65 yaş veüzeri işitme cihazı kullanan kişilerde Kısa Form- 36 Yaşam Kalitesi ölçeği ile işitme cihazı kullanımının kısa dönemde genel sağlık üzerine yaptığı etkiler belirlenmiştir ve Abbreviated Profile ofHearing Aid Benefit- Türkçe anketi ile işitme cihazı memnuniyeti değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: İşitme cihazı kullanımı iletişim yeteneğini arttırırken, özgüveni sağlamlaştırmaktadır. unilateral işitme cihazı kullanımı % 75 sessiz ve iletişimin kolay sağlanabildiği ortamlarda fayda sağlamıştır. Arka plan gürültünün varlığında unilateral işitme cihazı kullanımı %63 konuşmanın anlaşılırlığında fayda sağlarken, işitme cihazının kullanılmadığı durumlarda oran %51 olmaktadır ve bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (p=0.31). Kısa Form- 36 Yaşam Kalitesi Anketi'nin unilateral işitme cihazı kullanıcılarında genel değerlendirilmesinde, işitme cihazı kullanım süresinin yaşam kalitesi üzerine istatistiksel olarak etkisi bulunmamıştır (p
