Objective
To investigate the influence of maximum power output of bone conduction hearing devices on speech recognition in quiet and in noise in experienced users of bone conduction hearing devices. Design Prospective, randomised cross-over investigation comparing speech recognition performance, subjective sound quality, and device preference between two bone conduction hearing devices with different maximum power outputs. Study sample Sixteen adult subjects with conductive or mixed hearing loss. Results Both speech recognition in quiet and speech recognition in noise improved significantly when using the device with high vs. lower maximum power output. Mean improvement in word recognition score in quiet was 10.5% and the mean speech reception threshold in noise improved by 0.9 dB SNR. Compared to the device with lower maximum power output, the sound quality was rated significantly higher with the device with high maximum power output, which was also the device of preference for 81% of the subjects. Conclusion Bone conduction hearing devices with higher maximum power output have the potential to improve speech recognition in both quiet and noisy listening environments. |
