Abstract

Nowadays hearing rehabilitation training has the disadvantages of single training method and low compliance. We constructed a Chinese tongue-twister-based hearing rehabilitation training to improve users’ auditory sensitivity through repetitive combination training of similar phonemes, thus helping users to recover their hearing level. An application model was developed, for which user assessments of demand and satisfaction were conducted, followed by principal component analysis to further explore the correlation between principal components and ratings. The tongue twister rehearsal training is the feature with the highest ranking in terms of user demand and satisfaction. The mean (SD) score of demand for the five core functions is 6.24 (0.16), and the mean (SD) score of the satisfaction is 6.17 (0.2). The average (SD) demand and satisfaction scores for this overall application model are 6.62 (0.56) and 6.52 (0.64). The proposed application model of self-hearing health management, which integrates assessment and training, bridges the gap between assessment and training in traditional hearing health management software, and achieves high overall scores in user demand and satisfaction surveys. The application model we developed will make up for the current deficiency of hearing rehabilitation training and provide a new reference solution for future rehabilitation training of related diseases.
