| ABSTRACT |
|
Although auditory training is one of the main elements of aural rehabilitation, its limitations in terms of time and
cost give many hearing-impaired adults less opportunity to achieve better speech perception skill. This study
develops an auditory training program for mobile devices that was then applied to an adult listener suffering from
bilaterally moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss to examine its efficacy. The training program had 4 levels
(i.e., discrimination, advanced discrimination, identification with a closed-set condition, and identification with an
open-set condition) and each level was planned to be completed in one week. To examine whether the subject
achieved enhanced speech perception, the vowel, consonant, and sentence tests before- and after the training were
evaluated to compare the two training scenarios. After 4 weeks of auditory training using a mobile device, the
results showed that performance in the consonant and sentence tests largely increased except for the vowel test that
produced 100% correct scores in before- and after training. These results suggest that a moderate amount of
auditory training using a mobile device is effective when it is used to improve the speech perception of
hearing-impaired adults. |
