Summary

Patient-reported outcomes in cochlear implant (CI) users correlate with hearing test scores. Introducing fluctuating noise improves real-world relevance but reduces test accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Hearing Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Hearing-impaired patients require evolving audiometric methods.
  • Cochlear implant (CI) technology advances necessitate updated clinical standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between patient-reported outcomes and audiometric test scores in CI users.
  • To compare hearing assessment in quiet versus noisy environments.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 20 postlingually deafened CI users.
  • Speech comprehension assessed using Freiburg words (quiet) and Oldenburg sentence test (noise).
  • Subjective feedback collected via the HISQUI19 questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Significant positive correlation found between word scores in quiet and subjective hearing ability (Spearman's R = 0.57).
  • Higher correlation of subjective comprehension with fluctuating noise compared to stationary noise.
  • Test-retest accuracy decreased significantly when transitioning from stationary to fluctuating noise.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal fluctuations in background noise enhance ecological validity but decrease test accuracy.
  • Knowledge of this trade-off aids in selecting appropriate audiometric tests for evaluating ecological validity and precision.
  • Informs improved test method selection for CI user studies.
