Abstract:

 Aim: The aim of our study is to compare the depression levels of individuals with normal hearing and hearing loss evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory and to investigate whether there is a difference between the depression levels of individuals with hearing loss according to the side of hearing loss and the degree of hearing loss. Method: Individuals with normal hearing n40 and individuals with at least moderate sensorineural hearing loss n40 between the ages of 18-88 were included in the investigation. As a first step, permission was obtained from the Istanbul Gelişim University Ethics Committee. Power analysis of the study was made, and the required sample volume was determined as 70 people 35 people for each group. The participants, who signed a voluntary consent form, were first administered a pure tone audiometry test and speech tests including SRT Speech Reception Threshold, SDS Speech Discrimination Score, MCL Most Comfortable Level, and UCL Uncomfortable Loudness Level. Afterwards, the Beck Depression Inventory was applied face-to-face. The total score obtained from the scale was scored by the researcher. The analysis of the data collected in the study was carried out with the SPSS 25 program. Results: While 40 individuals with hearing loss participating in the study were taken as the study group, 40 individuals with normal hearing were named as healthy individuals. There was no statistically significant difference between the study group and the healthy individual group according to the average score they got from the Beck Depression Inventory p0.05. However, a statistically significant difference was found between those with unilateral and bilateral hearing loss in terms of depression level in the individuals in the study group participating in the study p0.05. A statistically significant difference was found between the individuals in the study group participating in the study in terms of the level of depression between those with moderate hearing loss and those with advanced levels p0.05. Conclusion: Having a disability such as hearing loss can affect the psychological state of the individual by causing incompatibilities in individual life and social life. In our study, it was revealed that the level of depression also increased with the excess of hearing loss and the degree of hearing loss. However, an increase in the level of depression was observed with age. The emergence of problems that affect daily life with andor independent of age causes mental injuries.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, Beck Depresyon Envanteri ile değerlendirilen normal işiten ve işitme kaybına sahip bireylerin depresyon seviyelerini karşılaştırmak, işitme kaybına sahip bireylerin ise işitme kaybının unilateralbilateral olmasına ve işitme kaybı derecesine göre depresyon seviyeleri arasında fark olup olmadığını araştırmak amacı ile yapılmıştır. Yöntem: 18-88 yaş aralığında normal işiten bireyler n40 ve en az orta derecede sensörinöral tip işitme kaybına sahip bireyler n40 ile çalışılmıştır. İlk adım olarak İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Etik Kurulundan izin alınmıştır. Çalışmanın power analizi yapılmış, gerekli örnek hacim 70 kişi olarak belirlenmiştir Her grup için 35 kişi. Gönüllü onam formu imzalatılan katılımcılara öncelikle saf ses odyometri testi ve Speech Reception Threshold SRT, SDS Speech Discrimination Score SDS, Most Comfortable Level MCL ve Uncomfortable Loudness Level UCL olmak üzere konuşma testleri uygulanmıştır. Sonrasında ise yüz yüze Beck Depresyon Envanteri uygulanmıştır. Ölçekten alınan toplam puan araştırmacı tarafından puanlanmıştır. Çalışmada toplanan verilerin analizi SPSS 25 programı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 40 işitme kayıplı birey çalışma grubu olarak alınırken 40 normal işiten birey ise sağlıklı birey grubu olarak adlandırılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerde ölçekten aldıkları ortalama puana göre çalışma grubu ve sağlıklı birey grubu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır p0,05. Fakat çalışmaya katılan çalışma grubundaki bireylerde depresyon seviyesi bakımından işitme kaybı unilateral olanlar ve bilateral olanlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur p0,05. Çalışmaya katılan çalışma grubundaki bireylerde depresyon seviyesine bakımından işitme kaybı orta seviye olanlar ve ileri seviye olanlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur p0,05. Sonuç: İşitme kaybı gibi bir engele sahip olmak bireysel hayatta ve sosyal alanda uyumsuzluklara neden olarak bireyin psikolojik durumunu etkileyebilmektedir. Araştırmamızda da özellikle işitme kaybının bilateral olması ve işitme kaybı derecesinin fazlalığı ile depresyon seviyesinin de arttığı ortaya konmuştur. Bununla birlikte yaş ile birlikte de depresyon seviyesinde bir artış gözlenmiştir. Yaş ile birlikte veveya yaştan bağımsız olarak günlük hayatı etkileyecek problemlerin ortaya çıkması ruhsal yaralanmalara sebep olmaktadır.
