聽覺障礙學生聽力評估之分析研究

The hearing evaluation for students with hearing-impairment

本研究旨在探討聽覺障礙學生實施聽力評估的結果。本研究以啟聰學校國小部至高職部各部別共124位學生為對象，分析學生在完成三種聽力檢查的結果以及助聽器的使用狀況。本研究的主要發現為：聽障學生配戴助聽器前的聽覺能力和語音辨識力大部分落在重度和極重度，配戴助聽輔具後，二者則落在中度和重度；助聽輔具的選用以個人助聽器為主，其次為電子耳和配戴調頻助聽器；聽障學生的聽覺能力和語音辨識力在未配戴助聽輔具與配戴助聽輔後呈現顯著的不同；配戴助聽助聽輔具後的聽覺能力和語音辨識力有顯示相關；最後彙整助聽輔具出現的問題與不配戴助聽輔具的原因等，提供研究建議作為學校、教師、家長和有興趣的研究做參考。
