Abstract

Još od najranijih civilizacija pa sve do danas neupitan je utjecaj glazbe u svakodnevnom životu čovjeka, a njezin doživljaj predstavlja veliki izazov kod osoba s oštećenjem sluha. Jedna od najčešćih kroničnih teškoća odrasle i starije populacije upravo je postlingvalno oštećenje sluha, kojem je indicirana dodjela slušnog pomagala i kojim se nastoji maksimalno pojačati i prilagoditi zvuk ulaznog signala te omogućiti korisniku optimalnu percepciju zvuka s preostalim sluhom. S obzirom na brojne i prilično važne razlike u akustičkim karakteristikama glazbe i govora, dolazi do poteškoća prilikom slušanja glazbe sa slušnim pomagalom koje je zapravo prilagođeno za primanje govornih, a ne glazbenih signala. Unatoč tome što se tržište slušnih pomagala neprestano unapređuje i nudi novine, i dalje su prisutne poteškoće kada je u pitanju slušanje glazbe. Ovakav problem narušava kvalitetu života korisnika slušnih pomagala, posebice onih koji se profesionalno bave glazbom te dodatno otežava prihvaćanje oštećenja sluha, potiče nezadovoljstvo uporabom slušnog pomagala i usporava put prema uspješnoj rehabilitaciji. Uvidom u velike razlike između glazbe i govora javlja se sve veća potreba za izradom posebnih programa za slušanje glazbe pomoću slušnih pomagala te ostvarivanje kvalitetnije suradnje sa stručnjacima koji će ponuditi kliničke smjernice i komunikacijske strategije koje će korisnicima olakšati upotrebu slušnih pomagala za kvalitetno slušanje glazbe.
Ovaj rad pregledom recentne literature iz područja oštećenja sluha i utjecaja na kvalitetu slušanja glazbe nastoji potaknuti pitanja važnosti inzistiranja na kvalitetnoj i timskoj rehabilitaciji koja dovodi do poboljšanja kvalitete života korisnika slušnih pomagala i uvažavanja potreba korisnika, zatim prikazati poteškoće s kojima se korisnici susreću prilikom slušanja glazbe te ponuditi implikacije i potencijalna rješenja za što kvalitetnije slušanje glazbe uz pomoć slušnih pomagala.

Abstract (english)

From the earliest civilizations until today, the influence of music in the everyday life of every human being is unquestionable, and its experience is a great challenge for people with hearing impairment. One of the most common chronic difficulties of the adult and elderly population is postlingual hearing loss, for which the allocation of a hearing aid is indicated. Hearing aids aim to maximally amplify and adapt the sound of the input signal and enable the user to optimally perceive the sound with the remaining hearing. Given the numerous and quite important differences in the acoustic characteristics of music and speech, difficulties arise when listening to music with a hearing aid that is actually adapted to receive speech signals, not music signals. Although the hearing aid market is constantly improving and offering novelties, there are still difficulties when it comes to listening to music. This kind of problem impairs the quality of life of hearing aid users, especially those who are professionally engaged in music, and makes it even more difficult to accept hearing impairment, encourages dissatisfaction with the use of hearing aids and slows down the path to successful rehabilitation. Seeing the great differences between music and speech, there is an increasing need to create special programs for listening to music using hearing aids and to achieve better cooperation with experts who will offer clinical guidelines and communication strategies that will make it easier for users to use hearing aids for quality listening to music.
This paper, by reviewing the recent literature in the field of hearing impairment and its impact on the quality of listening to music, tries to raise the issue of the importance of insisting on team rehabilitation that leads to an improvement in the quality of life of hearing aid users. This means that the team should respect the needs of users, including the importance of music for their lives, adress the difficulties that users encounter when listening to music by offering potential solutions for better listening to music with the help of hearing aids.
