抄録

A questionnaire survey of 102 individuals with profound hearing loss was conducted to investigate their daily use of hearing aids and to obtain information about the audibility of speech and sounds in the everyday environments from these individuals. All respondents had worn hearing aids from an early age. The hearing level was greater than 90 dB in all the subjects. Thirty-five different listening situations were described and the respondents were asked to rate whether they “could hear the sound” or “could not hear the sound but needed to hear it.” Analysis of the responses seemed to indicate that these respondents with profound hearing loss mainly judged their hearing from the sound intensity and also judged their necessity from the social context.<br>The reasons why they wore their hearing aids almost all day long were investigated by checking their response patterns to the questions on environmental sounds, music and song, speech communication to friends and family members, and speech information. The results showed that these respondents enjoyed speech communication with their hearing friends and family, however they reported having some difficulty in understanding speech information. The respondents also reported that they enjoyed listening to music and singing in their daily lives, however, that they didn't appreciate feeling and healing sounds. The survey results also suggest that the subjects wore hearing aids on a daily basis primarily for the avoidance of danger.
