Abstract
A dificuldade de compreensão de fala no ruído é apontada como uma das principais incapacidades pelo usuário de Aparelho de Amplificação Sonora Individual. O objetivo desse estudo foi comparar o desempenho auditivo de sujeitos portadores de perda auditiva neurossensorial, bilateral, de grau leve a moderado, com os microfones ominidirecional, direcional fixo e direcional adaptativo automaticamente ativado, por meio da relação sinal/ruído (S/R) nas quais são obtidos os Limiares de Reconhecimento de Sentenças no Ruído (LRSR). Utilizaram-se os aparelhos Reach, modelo RCH62, da marca Beltone, nos modos microfone omnidirecional, direcional fixo e direcional adaptativo automaticamente ativado. Foram testadas as seguintes situações de apresentação dos estímulos acústicos: fala 0° azimute e ruído 180° azimute (0°/180°), fala 90° azimute e ruído 270° (90°/270°) azimute e fala 270° azimute e ruído 90° azimute (270°/90°). A média das relações sinal/ruído variou de 6,6 dB a -6,9 dB. O microfone que apresentou melhor média para a relação sinal/ruído, considerando as três situações de apresentação dos estímulos, foi o direcional adaptativo automaticamente ativado. Entretanto, por se tratar de uma amostra pequena, houve grande variabilidade individual. Mais estudos devem ser realizados a fim de que se tenham subsídios científicos para a seleção dos microfones mais apropriados.
The difficulty of understanding speech with background noise is perceived as one of the main disabilities of the hearing aids users. The purpose of this study was to compare the hearing performance of subjects with sensorioneural, bilateral, light to moderate degree hearing loss with the microphones omnidirectional, fixed directional mode and automatically activated adaptive directional mode, activated through the signal/noise ratio (S/R) in which the Sentence Recognition Threshold in Noise are obtained. It was used the hearing aid Reach, RCH62, Beltone in omnidirectional, fixed directional and automatically activated adaptive microphone modes. The following presentations of acoustic stimulus had been tested: speech 0° azimuth and noise 180° azimuth (0°/180°), speech 90° azimuth and noise 270° azimuth (90°/270°) and speech 270° azimuth and noise 90° azimuth (270°/90°). The average signal to noise ratio ranged from 6,6 dB to -6,9 dB. The microphone that had the best average for signal to noise ratio, considering the three conditions of stimulus presentation, was the automatically activated adaptive. However, because it is a small sample, there was great individual variability. Further studies should be performed to obtain scientific support for the most appropriate selection of microphones.
