AB  - Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hearing aid usage onbalance system in individuals older than 60 years of age who use hearing aiddue to presbiacusia.Materials and Methods: Individuals (>60 years of age) with at least 25 dBage-related sensorineural hearing loss in both ears and who were givenbilateral hearing aid for 3 months were included to our study. The dataobtained by evaluating balance system with cVEMP and Romberg on foam test priorto the usage of hearing aid and 3 months after individuals used bilateralhearing aid (without device condition) were compared. Results: While P1-N1 responses were not taken from 21 of the tested ears, theywere taken from 39 of the tested ears. Even though remarkable improvement wasfound in Romberg on foam test done after 3-month usage of hearing aid(p=0.001), no significant change was observed in cVEMP findings (p>0.05)other than the N1 latencies (p=0.03). Conclusion: With the usage of hearing aid due topresciacusia, an increase is seen in the ability of keeping balance parallelwith the increase in auditory inputs.

N2  - Amaç:Bu çalışmanın amacı presbiakuzinedeniyle işitme cihazı kullanan 60 yaş üstü bireylerde işitme cihazı kullanımınındenge sistemi üzerine olan etkilerini araştırmaktır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamıza her iki kulağında en az 25 dB yaşa bağlısensörinöral işitmekaybı olup 3 ay bilateral işitme cihazı verilen 60 yaş üzeri bireyler dahiledildi. Bireylerin işitme cihazı kullanmaya başlamadan önce ve bilateral işitmecihazı kullandıktan 3 ay sonraki cihazsız koşullarda cVEMP ve Romberg on foamtest ile denge sistemini değerlendirerek elde edilen veriler karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Test edilen kulakların 21’inden P1-N1 cevabı alınamazken, 39’undanP1-N1 cevabı alınmıştır. Üçay işitme cihazı kullanımı sonrası yapılan Romberg on foam test de belirginderecede düzelme saptanmasına rağmen (p= 0.001), N1 latansları (p = 0.03) dışındacVEMP bulgularında anlamlı bir değişiklik izlenmedi (p > 0.05). Sonuç: Presbiakuzi nedeniyle işitme cihazıkullanımı ile işitsel inputların artmasına paralel olarak dengeyi sağlamabecerisinde de artış görülmektedir.
