Sprachverstehen unter erschwerten Bedingungen erfordert die Integration multimodaler
Informationen. Das Arbeitsgedächtnis stellt die dafür notwendigen Ressourcen zur Verfügung.
Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird dargestellt, welchen Benefit postlingual ertaubte Erwachsene
nach CI-Versorgung durch Implementierung eines auditorisch-kognitiven Trainings in
den Rehabilitationsprozess erhalten können.
Abstract
Language comprehension in challenging conditions requires the integration of multimodal
information. Necessary resources are provided by the working memory. We discuss how
adult cochlear implant (CI) users benefit from auditory-cognitive training during
their rehabilitation process. Working memory capacity highly impacts language comprehension
whenever listening effort is increased. Since CI users may have trouble to recover
the phonological structure from the speech signal, working memory is required to provide
necessary resources to disambiguate multiple interpretation options. However, either
due to their hearing biography or due to their advanced age, CI users often show reduced
working memory capacities. Previous studies with hearing-impaired adults provide evidence
for the potential of combined auditory-cognitive training during the rehabilitation
process of CI users.
