ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of auditory training using virtual reality technologies in people with chronic sensorineural hearing loss in dynamics.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 68 patients aged from 24 to 97 years (mean age 57.63±15.87 years) with latent hearing loss (hearing loss at high frequencies), I degree of hearing loss and its variations. Auditory training was carried out on the basis of the Diagnostic and Rehabilitation System for spatial and speech hearing based on virtual reality using various audiovisual scenarios ReviAudio and control of speech perception, spatial hearing and hearing quality using the SSQRus questionnaire.

RESULTS: A comparative analysis of the training results using the ReviAudio software revealed positive trends in the patient's response time and the patient's accuracy in determining the direction of the target signal, regardless of the symmetry and asymmetry of hearing loss. Patients with asymmetric hearing impairment observe an improvement in spatial hearing parameters, patients with symmetric hearing loss - speech perception and hearing quality, patients with latent hearing loss report an improvement in the quality of hearing. The auditory training is effective in individuals with mild chronic sensorineural hearing loss and in individuals with latent hearing loss as an adjunctive treatment.
