“…The results of a study by Jo et al show that the demographic factors, such as gender, age, and length of the usage of the hearing aid had no effect on the scores of the questionnaire [18]. In a study by Bastos et al, no association was found between demographic data, auditory thresholds, and ALHQ scores [19].…”

Attitudes and aptitudes play an important role in the acceptance of hearing aids. We can objectively and subjectively examine the attitude of individuals toward hearing loss and hearing aids, using Attitudes towards Loss of Hearing Questionnaire (ALHQ). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of demographic factors on the responses of individuals to ALHQ and to compare the scores of the questionnaire between hearing aid users and hearing aid non-users. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 100 hearing-impaired participants. They were divided into hearing aid users and non-users groups. After hearing assessments, the participants were asked to complete the questionnaire; then, the responses of the two groups were compared and the effects of demographic factors on the responses were examined. Results: The questionnaire scores in the hearing aid non-users were higher than the hearing aid users. The results showed a reverse correlation between the history of hearing aid usage and the scores of the questionnaire. There was also a reverse correlation between the mean score of pure tone thresholds in the left ear with the scores of the questionnaire in the hearing aid users. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the type of hearing aid and the scores of the questionnaire. Conclusion: Hearing aid non-users have a more negative attitude toward hearing aids and are more likely to deny their hearing loss compared to hearing aid users.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the Korean version of profile of hearing aid benefit-quick version (K-PHAB-Q) which shortens 20 questions of K-PHAB into 10 for efficient evaluation of hearing aids benefit. Methods: First, responses for the questionnaires were collected from 140 hearing aid users (average age: 67.39). K-PHAB-Q consists of ease of communication (EC), background noise (BN), reverberation (RV), aversiveness of sounds (AV) and localization (LC), and was verified through factor analysis, principal component analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha analysis for a total of 10 selected items. Second, the K-PHAB-Q questionnaire was collected by test-retesting for a total of 40 hearing aid users (average age: 71.98). The collected questionnaires were verified by paired <i>t</i>-test and Pearson correlation coefficient, and the 95% prediction interval (PI) was calculated to establish the standard of change in subjective satisfaction on hearing aid users. Results: The results of this study were 1) according to Cronbach’s alpha analysis of K-PHAB-Q, the internal consistency of all items was high as 0.854, 2) test-retest result of K-PHAB-Q showed no significant difference (r > 0.05) and showed high correlation in all items, 3) The 95% PI of EC, BN, RV, AV, and LC showed ± 16.823, ± 17.734, ± 12.123, ± 14.404, and ± 8.193 respectively. Conclusion: K-PHAB-Q, will be useful for hearing aid verification or validation at hearing aid fitting management sites in a short time.

For using the translated questionnaires, an appropriate translation should be accomplished for establishing the equivalence. The equivalence is divided into two categories, formal equivalence regarding words and grammar and dynamic equivalence meaning the naturalness of the context with the consideration of the cultural and emotional characteristics of the region. The purpose of this study was to verify formal and dynamic equivalences and statistical reliability of the widely used translated questionnaire in Korea, abbreviated profile of hearing aid benefits (APHAB). The identification of equivalence was conducted in formal and dynamic categories and the statistical verification was performed for 6 translated APHAB which are currently utilized in Korea. None of 6 translated APHAB had formal and dynamic equivalences for all 24 items when the score ‘2’ was given to the completed equivalence of each item. Two translated APHAB showed ‘11’ as the best score and one of them showed ‘0’ for the formal equivalence identification. For the dynamic equivalence, the two translated APHAB scored ‘20’ as the best score. The one scored ‘0’ for the formal equivalence showed ‘0’ also in the dynamic equivalence. And only two translated APHAB presented the statistical validation using Cronbach’s alpha and factor analysis. It was confirmed that any of 6 translated APHAB in Korea could not reproduce the original contents with the appropriate equivalence and statistical validation. As the translated version was found to have a limitation in delivering the original contents due to language, emotional and cultural differences, a Korean questionnaire should be developed.
