INTRODUCTION The effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hearing is well documented in the literature. Several studies have investigated the effect of hemodialysis on the peripheral auditory system among individuals with CKD. However, studies investigating the effect of hemodialysis on speech perception and auditory processing abilities are limited. The present study investigated the effect of hemodialysis on few auditory processing abilities and speech perception in noise among adults with CKD. METHODS A total of 25 adults with CKD undergoing hemodialysis regularly participated in the study. Spectral ripple discrimination threshold (SRDT), gap detection threshold (GDT), amplitude-modulation detection threshold (AMDT), and speech recognition threshold in noise (SRTn) were measured before and after hemodialysis. Paired samples "t" test was carried out to investigate the effect of hemodialysis on thresholds. RESULTS Results showed a significant improvement for SRDT, GDT, AMDT, and SRTn after hemodialysis among individuals with CKD. DISCUSSION Hemodialysis showed a positive effect on speech perception in noise and auditory processing abilities among individuals with CKD.

血液透析对慢性肾病患者的频谱和时间处理能力以及噪声中言语感知的影响。

简介 慢性肾病 (CKD) 对听力的影响在文献中有详细记载。几项研究调查了血液透析对 CKD 患者外周听觉系统的影响。然而，调查血液透析对言语感知和听觉处理能力影响的研究有限。本研究调查了血液透析对慢性肾病成人患者的听觉处理能力和噪声中言语感知的影响。方法 共有 25 名定期接受血液透析的 CKD 成年人参与了该研究。在血液透析前后测量频谱纹波辨别阈值（SRDT）、间隙检测阈值（GDT）、调幅检测阈值（AMDT）和噪声中的语音识别阈值（SRTn）。进行配对样本“t”检验以研究血液透析对阈值的影响。结果 结果显示 CKD 患者在血液透析后 SRDT、GDT、AMDT 和 SRTn 显着改善。讨论 血液透析对 CKD 患者的噪声言语感知和听觉处理能力有积极影响。
