Zusammenfassung

Die Untersuchung kognitiver Funktionen im Zusammenhang mit der Wahrnehmung von Sprache hat in den letzten Jahren zunehmendes wissenschaftliches und klinisches Interesse erlangt. Vor allem vor dem Hintergrund altersassoziierter Hörstörungen und kognitiven Abbaus ergeben sich möglicherweise Perspektiven für eine individualisierte audiologische Diagnostik und Rehabilitation. Der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel widmet sich der Verknüpfung von Sprachaudiometrie, Sprachwahrnehmung und kognitiven Faktoren. Er stellt Modelle der Sprachwahrnehmung vor, diskutiert Zusammenhänge zwischen neuropsychologischen Befunden und sprachaudiometrischen Ergebnissen und präsentiert aktuelle Bestrebungen, kognitive Leistungen bei sprachaudiometrischen Verfahren zu berücksichtigen.

Abstract

Examination of cognitive functions in the framework of speech perception has recently gained increasing scientific and clinical interest. Especially against the background of age-related hearing impairment and cognitive decline potential new perspectives in terms of better individualisation of auditory diagnosis and rehabilitation might arise. This review addresses the relationships of speech audiometry, speech perception and cognitive functions. It presents models of speech perception, discusses associations of neuropsychological with audiometric outcomes and shows recent efforts to consider cognitive functions with speech audiometry.
