Abstract Uvod: Komunikacijske teškoće koje nastaju zbog oštećenja sluha izravno utječu na kvalitetu
života. Teškoće u komunikaciji mogu rezultirati u odstupanjima u emocionalnom i socijalnom
razvoju te mogu imati značajan utjecaj na kvalitetu života svakog čovjeka. -----
Cilj Procijeniti komunikacijske vještine i kvalitetu života osoba s oštećenim sluhom s
obzirom na stupanj oštećenja sluha, kao i socijalne i emocionalne teškoće s kojima se susreću. -----
Ispitanici i metode: Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 50 ispitanika s oštećenjem sluha u dobi od 25
do 55 godina koji dolaze na redovitu kontrolu sluha u Klinici za bolesti uha, nosa i grla i
kirurgiju glave i vrata uha, KBC Zagreb. Anamnestičkim pregledom, uvidom u postojeću
medicinsku dokumentaciju i rezultate provedenih dijagnostičkih postupaka dobiveni su opći
podaci, podaci o mogućem uzroku oštećenja sluha, vremenu nastanka oštećenja, trajanju
oštećenja, načinu komuniciranja u obitelji i okolini, kvaliteti života za svakog ispitanika. Za
ispitivanje socijalnih i emocionalnih teškoća osoba s oštećenim sluhom korišten je HHIA
upitnik, a SF36 upitnik za ispitivanje kvalitete života. -----
Rezultati: Najveći broj ispitanika ima gubitak sluha na oba uha, koji se prema klasifikaciji
ubraja u umjerenu nagluhost. Ispitivanje razabirljivosti riječi frekvencijski i intenzitetski
izbalansirane i standardne brzine pokazali su da većina ispitanika bolje razumije riječi koje
upotrebljavaju u svakodnevnoj komunikaciji, teže su razumjeli riječi koje sadrže skupine
konsonanata „dn“, „pr“ i „št“. jer se po čestotnosti rjeđe koriste u našem jeziku i imaju
relativno nisku razinu jezične kompetencije. Samoprocjena kvalitete života povezane sa
zdravljem je najlošija u domeni zdravlja koja opisuju vitalnost, mentalno zdravlje i percepciju
općeg zdravlja. HHIA upitnik i u socijalnoj i emocionalnoj domeni značajno razlikuje
pojedine razine slušnog praga u svim promatranim frekvencijama te na oba uha. -----
Zaključak: Teškoće u komunikaciji mogu rezultirati u odstupanjima u emocionalnom i
socijalnom razvoju te mogu imati značajan utjecaj na kvalitetu života svakog čovjeka.
Redovite kontrole sluha i pravovremena dijagnoza s rehabilitacijom pridonose poboljšavanju
razumijevanja govora a time i bolju funkcioniranju u svakodnevnom životu što je uspješni
čimbenik u rješavanju daljnjih emocionalnih, socijalnih i psiholoških uvjeta. Uz suvremena
slušna pomagala osobe s oštećenjem sluha postižu poboljšanje u razumijevanju govora i bolju
kvalitetu života.
Zbog modernog načina života i sve većeg broja čimbenika koji mogu dovesti do oštećenja
sluha potrebno je provoditi preventivne mjere, kako bi se spriječilo oštećenja sluha.

consonants "dn", "pr“ and "št" because the frequency of less frequently used in our language
