单侧外周前庭疾病患者的空间听觉：一项探索性研究。

文献信息

中文摘要

目的： 本初步研究旨在探讨单侧外周前庭疾病且临床听力正常个体的空间听觉感知及部分认知功能。
方法： 15名单侧外周前庭疾病患者和18名年龄匹配的健康对照者接受了听力学和认知评估。评估了空间听觉，并评估了认知表现，以考虑其对空间听觉的潜在影响。
结果： 探索性分析显示，前庭组在空间听觉表现上差于对照组。在调整年龄和纯音平均听阈后，空间分离条件（SV90）和空间优势方面仍存在显著的组间差异，而共定位条件（SV0）下的差异不再具有统计学显著性。尽管两组耳鸣患病率不同，但组内分析显示耳鸣与空间听觉表现之间无显著关联。认知表现方面未观察到统计学显著的组间差异。
结论： 单侧外周前庭功能障碍与较差的空间听觉表现相关，尤其是在空间分离聆听条件下和空间优势方面。总体而言，研究结果表明，单侧外周前庭功能障碍可能影响空间听觉，尽管临床听力正常。

英文摘要

PURPOSE: This preliminary study aimed to examine spatial auditory perception and selected cognitive functions in individuals with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders and clinically normal hearing.
METHOD: Fifteen individuals with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders and 18 age-matched healthy controls underwent audiological and cognitive assessments. Spatial hearing was evaluated, and cognitive performance was assessed to account for its potential influence on spatial hearing.
RESULTS: Exploratory analyses showed poorer spatial hearing performance in the vestibular group than in the control group. After adjustment for age and pure-tone average, significant group differences remained under the spatially separated condition (SV90) and for spatial advantage, whereas the difference under the co-located condition (SV0) was no longer statistically significant. Although tinnitus prevalence differed between groups, within-group analyses showed no significant association between tinnitus and spatial hearing performance. No statistically significant group differences were observed in cognitive performance.
CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction was associated with poorer spatial auditory performance, particularly under spatially separated listening conditions and in spatial advantage. Overall, the findings suggest that unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction may influence spatial hearing despite clinically normal hearing.
