| Résumé : |
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a pure-tone threshold average (PTA) ≤25 dB HL for the better ear represents “no impairment.” This implies that patients with single-sided deafness (SSD) would have “no or very slight hearing problems.” According to the American Medical Association (AMA), a patient with SSD would receive a binaural hearing impairment rating of 16.7%. The premise of the WHO and AMA methods is that PTA is related to the ability to perceive speech in everyday environments.
The overall goal of the study was to evaluate the WHO and AMA criteria for the rating of hearing impairment. The purpose of this study was to quantify the impact of simulated SSD on the ability to recognize speech in the presence of background noise in terms of binaural and spatial advantage measures. Study participants were tested using the standard protocol for the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) in both binaural and monaural conditions using a simulated soundfield environment under headphones. The target sentences were presented at 0°. Binaural thresholds were obtained for the Noise Front (0°), Noise Left (270°), and Noise Right (90°) listening conditions. Monaural thresholds were collected for each ear for the Noise Front condition and for the unshadowed ear for the Noise Left and Noise Right conditions. Binaural advantage was determined by subtracting the binaural from the monaural thresholds. Spatial advantage was determined by subtracting the Noise Side from the Noise Front thresholds. |
