Psychological Aspects of Patients with Binaural Hearing Aids

Pages 202-204 | Published online: 07 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

9 of 10 persons with hearing defects can only overcome this handicap through the use of hearing aids. Only a small group needs body aids, binaural ear-level aids should be the routine for all the rest. In order to prevent deprivation of the acoustic sense, the whole hearing organ should be stimulated from the very beginning of the treatment with an aid in the right and in the left ear. Through routine prescription of binaural aids from the start, the psychological problem based on hearing aid use would be overcome.

Chez 9 malentendants sur 10 le seul traitement possible est Pappareil de correction auditive. Le boiˇtier ne s'impose que dans quelques cas; une prothétisation binaurale par lunettes ou contours d'oreille doit ětre la règie dans les autres cas. Pour éviter une détérioration de la fonction auditive, il importe que l'appareil auditif tout entier soit stimulé, dès le début, à l'aide d'un appareil dans l'oreille droite et d'un autre dans Poreille gauche. A notre avis, la préscription précoce d'une prothése binaurale devrait permettre d'éviter que se posent les problèmes pyschologiques souvent observés actuellement chez les porteurs d'appareils de correction auditive.
