概括

这项研究比较了六种自适配的非处方 (OTC-SF) 助听器在轻度至中度听力损失的成年人中的可用性和性能. 虽然语音噪声效益相似,但在设备之间观察到适配时间和声音质量的差异.

科学领域:

听力学听力学是指听力学.
听力健康技术听力健康技术
消费者健康消费者健康

背景情况:

非处方 (OTC) 助听器为改善获得听力医疗保健的机会提供了一个潜在的解决方案.
自适配 (SF) OTC 助听器使轻度至中度听力损失的个体能够独立管理他们的听力.
评估这些设备的可用性和性能对于消费者指导至关重要.

研究的目的:

为了比较各种自装式非处方 (OTC-SF) 助听器的可用性和性能.
评估诸如安装时间,用户知识,易用性,声音质量和语音噪音效益等因素.
提供支持消费者决策和医疗保健专业人士建议的数据.

主要方法:

一项横截面研究评估了六种不同的OTC-SF助听器.
四十三名自认为有轻度至中度听力障碍的成年人参与了这项研究.
可用性是通过装配时间,助听器技能和知识 (HASK) 和标准化问卷来衡量的. 使用声音质量判断和语音与噪音测试来评估表现.

主要成果:

装配时间有很大的不同,从14.4分钟 (HP Hearing PRO) 到27.1分钟 (Lexie Lumen).
音质评分在设备之间有显著差异,Lexie B2的评分最高,HP Hearing PRO的评分最低.
在测试的OTC-SF助听器中,在语音噪音效益或整体自我报告的易用性方面没有发现显著差异.

结论:

虽然OTC-SF助听器显示出类似的语音噪声优势,但在安装时间和音质方面存在显著差异.
面向消费者的指标,如易于自适配和整体可用性,在设备之间是可比的.
需要进一步研究OTC-SF助听器的长期可用性和选择过程,以帮助消费者和专业人士.

Goodness-of-Fit Test

Goodness-of-Fit Test

The goodness-of-fit test is a type of hypothesis test which determines whether the data "fits" a particular distribution. For example, one may suspect that some anonymous data may fit a binomial distribution. A chi-square test (meaning the distribution for the hypothesis test is chi-square) can be used to determine if there is a fit. The null and alternative hypotheses may be written in sentences or stated as equations or inequalities. The test statistic for a goodness-of-fit test is given as...

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

A goodness-of-fit test is conducted to determine whether the observed frequency values are statistically similar to the frequencies expected for the dataset. Suppose the expected frequencies for a dataset are equal such as when predicting the frequency of any number appearing when casting a die. In that case, the expected frequency is the ratio of the total number of observations (n) to the number of categories (k).
