简要总结
The aim was to observe the effect of the music integrated phonological awareness program on preschool cochlear implant users and to compare the phonological awareness skills of the study group with the control group before and after the online training.
详细描述
This study was designed to determine the benefit of music integrated phonological awareness programs for children using cochlear implants. In addition, the phonological skills and language skills of children using cochlear implants and children with normal hearing were compared in the pre and post-training results. Test of Early Language Development (TELD-3), The Phonological Awareness Scale of Early Childhood Period (PASECP), Mismatch Negativity (MMN) was used in this study.
This study was carried out with follow-up patients in the Audiology, Language and Speech Disorders Clinic of xxx University - Medical Faculty, Department of Otorhinolaryngology. The study was performed with the approval of Ethics Committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all patient families (138955/ July 2021). There are 9 female and 14 male cochlear implant users in the study group; 9 female and 14 male children with normal hearing in the control group. Children ranging in age from 5 to 7 who also have 5-6 years old language skills without any neurological problems were included in the study. Cochlear implant mappings of all children were checked before the training.
SPSS 25.0 (IBM) was used for statistical analysis. Pre and post-training comparisons of The Phonological Awareness Scale of Early Childhood Period, SMRT, and Mismatch Negativity tests were analyzed with the Wilcoxon test. The correlation of numerical measurements with each other was examined with Spearman Correlation. The differences in the numerical measurements used in the research according to the binary demographic categories were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test. The differences according to the multiple categories were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis H test. The significance level (α=0,05) was used.

结局指标

Change from Electrophysiological at 3 Months
时间窗: baseline and 3 months
Mismatch Negativity (MMN) was used to evaluate the central auditory system. Neuron-Spectrum-5 (4/EPM) (Neurosoft, Ivanoco, Russia) was used for the electrophysiological recordings of the study group. Speech stimuli were used as stimuli. Amplitude and latency changes were observed in the Mismatch Negativity test before and after the training. The increase in amplitudes and shortening of latencies after training indicate that the central auditory system has developed.
Change from baseline in the spectral discrimination ability at 3 Months
时间窗: baseline and 3 months
Spectral-Temporally Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) was used to assess the spectral discrimination ability of the study group. The test was performed using SMRT software. Waveform broadband noise with spectral-temporal modulation was used. In each trial, three ripple sounds were presented. Two stimuli were reference signals with an intensity of 20 ripple/octave (rpo) and another stimulus was a target signal with a lower rpo intensity. The initial intensity of the target signal was 0.5 rpo and was replaced by a step size of 0.2 rpo. Adaptive running terminated after ten reverses.Spectral-Temporally Modulated Ripple Test was calculated over the last six reversals. Three runs were completed for each child, and the final threshold was determined by averaging the three runs. Having a low rpo value was an indication of good spectral resolution of the children.
Change from Baseline in the phonological awareness skills at 3 Months
时间窗: baseline and 3 months
The Early Childhood Phonological Awareness Scale (PASECP) was used to measure sound awareness and sound discrimination skills of preschool children whose language age is between 60-72 months. The test has 8 sub-dimensions. There are 8 test items in the first sub-dimension and 10 test items in the other sub-dimensions, with a total of 78 test items. If the answers given by the children to the scale items are correct (1), if incorrect (0), they are coded into the answer key. The test is administered to children individually. The application time for each child takes approximately 15 minutes. High scores of the child indicate that his/her phonological awareness is good.
