人工耳蜗与助听器对听障儿童嗓音音质的影响研究

目的：探讨人工耳蜗与助听器对聋儿嗓音音质的影响机制。方法：随机选择昕障儿童组成健听组、助听器组、人工耳蜗组以及裸耳听障组，其中健听组与裸耳听障组作为对照控制组。采用“嗓音疾病评估仪”（TigerDRS）进行嗓音音质评估，要求儿童发／越／音，持续3s。测试的声学参数为：F0、SDF0、Jitter、Shimmer、NNE、HNR、SNR。结果：人工耳蜗组的嗓音F0显著小于其他各组（均P〈0．05），助听器组、健听组、裸耳听障组之间的嗓音F0无显著性差异（P〉0．05）；人工耳蜗组与助听器组的SDF0显著大于健听组和裸耳听障组（P〈0．05），助听器及人工耳蜗对听障女性患儿嗓音SDFo的影响大于昕障男性患儿，其交互作用达显著临界水平（P〉0．05）；各组之间的嗓音音质参数（Jitter、Shimmer、NNE、HNR、SNR）差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。结论：人工耳蜗与助听器主要影响的是嗓音F0及SDF0，而对其他音质参数影响不大。

Research of the effect of cochlear implant and hearing aid on voice quality of hearing impaired children

Objective:To discuss the effect of cochlear implant and hearing aid to voice quality.Method:Four groups of randomly selected 73 subjects were compared. The groups comprised: cochlear implant children, children using hearing aids, normal hearing children and deaf children with no hearing instrumention. The latter two groups were control groups. Each subject was required to phonate // about 3 s using 'voice assessment' to record the sound, and following voice acoustice variables were analysed: F0,SDF0,Jitter,Shimmer,NNE,HNR,SNR.Result:Voice F0 of children with cochlear implant was significantly lower that the other three groups(P<0.05);there were no significant difference between hearing aid group, normal hearing gourp, and deaf children group with no intervention(P>0.05);SDF0 of cochlear implant group and hearing aids group were significantly larger than the normal hearing group and deaf children group with no intervention(P<0.05),and the interaction of two factors(hearing and sex ) was close to the critical level of significance(P>0.05),which means that cochlear implant and hearing aid could have affected the SDF0 of female children more than those of male children. There were no significant difference among all the four groups about voice quality variables: Jitter,Shimmer,NNE,HNR,SNR.Conclusion:Cochlear implant and hearing aid mainly change the voice F0 and/or SDF0, and have no effect on the voice quality variables.
