İşitme Cihazı Memnuniyetinde Cihaz Kullanım Süresinin Rolü

Year 2019, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 243 - 253, 30.12.2019

Abstract



Amaç:
Bu
çalışmanın amacı, bilateral işitme cihazı kullanıcılarının günlük ve yaşam boyu
işitme cihazı kullanım süresi ile işitme kaybı derecesinin işitme cihazı
memnuniyetine olan etkisini araştırmaktır.

Gereç
ve Yöntem:
18-49 yaş arası 38 bilateral işitme
kullanıcısı birey (22 K, 16 E; Ort. Yaş: 32.8) çalışmaya katılmıştır. Çalışmaya
katılan bireylere Günlük Hayatta Amplifikasyon Memnuniyeti Anketi” doldurtulmuş
ve anketin ikinci sayfasındaki özelliklere göre gruplandırılarak değerlendirme
yapılmıştır. Değerlendirme bu anketin “Pozitif Etki”, “Servis ve Fiyat”,
“Negatif Özellikler” ve “Kişisel İmaj” alt boyutlarında ayrı ayrı ve anket
toplam skoruna göre yapılmıştır.

Bulgular:
İşitme
güçlüğü seviyesine göre en iyi T-SADL skorları orta derece işitme güçlüğünde
gözlenmiştir (p<0.017). Hayat boyu işitme cihazı deneyimine göre T-SADL
skorları pozitif etki ve servis ve fiyat alt parametrelerinde süre arttıkça
azalma göstermiştir (p<0.008). Günlük işitme cihazı kullanım süresi arttıkça
T-SADL skorları servis ve fiyat alt parametresi hariç diğer tüm alt
parametrelerde ve toplam skorda artış göstermiştir (p<0.017).







Sonuç:
Çalışmanın
sonucunda, işitme cihazı kullanım memnuniyetini etkileyen faktörler arasında
işitme cihazlarıyla ilgili deneyim süresi, günlük kullanım oranları ve işitme
kaybının derecesinin önemli değişkenler olduğu görülmüştür.

The Role of Hearing Aid Use Time in Hearing Aid Satisfaction

Year 2019, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 243 - 253, 30.12.2019

Abstract



Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of daily and
lifetime hearing aid usage and degree of hearing loss on hearing aid
satisfaction of bilateral hearing aid users.

Materials and Methods: 38 bilateral hearing users (22 F, 16 M; Mean Age:
32.8) aged between 18-49 years participated in the study. The participants were
filled in the Amplification Satisfaction Survey in Daily Life and grouped
according to the characteristics on the second page of the questionnaire. The
evaluation was conducted separately in the “Positive Effect”, “Service and
Price”, Negative Features” and “Personal Image” subscales of the questionnaire
and according to the total score of the questionnaire.

Results: The best SADL-Turkish scores according to the level of hearing
difficulty were observed in moderate hearing impairment (p<0.017). According
to the lifetime hearing aid experience, SADL-Turkish scores showed a decreased
as usage time increased “positive effect” and service and price” sub-parameters
(p<0.008). As daily hearing aid usage time increased, T-SADL scores
increased in all sub-parameters and total score except service and price
sub-parameters (p<0.017).







Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was seen that the
duration of experience, daily use rates and the degree of hearing loss were
important variables among the factors affecting the satisfaction of hearing
aids.
