Abstract:
:The test-retest reliability of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA) was assessed on a sample of 28 hearing-impaired adults. Reliability estimates were obtained to set the stage for using the HHIA as an outcome measure in aural rehabilitation. The test-retest reliability was quite high (r = 0.97) and the standard error of measurement was low for the HHIA and its screening version (HHIA-S). In light of the psychometric adequacy, the HHIA and HHIA-S have potential as indices of hearing aid benefit in hearing-impaired adults.

EAR AND HEARING文献大全abstract::The auditory steady state potentials may be an important technique in objective audiometry. The effects of stimulus rate, intensity, and tonal frequency on these potentials were investigated using both signal averaging and on-line Fourier analysis. Stimulus presentation rates of 40 to 45/sec result in a 40 Hz sinusoid...
