“…Fuente et al 29 suggested that the AIADH should be used in hearing conservation programs to screen for possible negative auditory outcomes due to solvent exposure that are not detected by pure-tone audiometry. The AIADH was initially developed in Dutch and English 48 and later adapted into Spanish, 50 Cantonese, 51 Portuguese, 52 and Turkish. 53 …”

Audiological Tests Used in the Evaluation of the Effects of Solvents on the Human Auditory System: A Mixed Methods Review

This study aimed to scope the literature, identify knowledge gaps, appraise results, and synthesize the evidence on the audiological evaluation of workers exposed to solvents. We searched Medline, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and NIOSHTIC-2 up to March 22, 2021. Using Covidence, two authors independently assessed study eligibility, risk of bias, and extracted data. National Institute of Health Quality Assessment Tools was used in the quality evaluation of included studies; the Downs and Black checklist was used to assess the risk of bias. Of 454 located references, 37 were included. Twenty-five tests were studied: two tests to measure hearing thresholds, one test to measure word recognition in quiet, six electroacoustic procedures, four electrophysiological tests, and twelve behavioral tests to assess auditory processing skills. Two studies used the Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability and Handicap. The quality of individual studies was mostly considered moderate, but the overall quality of evidence was considered low. The discrepancies between studies and differences in the methodologies/outcomes prevent recommending a specific test battery to assess the auditory effects of occupational solvents. Decisions on audiological tests for patients with a history of solvent exposures require the integration of the most current research evidence with clinical expertise and stakeholder perspectives.

“…10 After psychometric testing, Kramer et al 11 modified the AIADH (denoted as (m)AIADH) and excluded two items to enhance reliability and validity. The (m)AIADH has been tested in many research studies and validated in various languages, including Swedish, Spanish, Turkish, Portuguese, and Cantonese, [12][13][14][15][16] but not in English. It has also not been applied and tested for the firefighter population in any earlier studies.…”

BackgroundFirefighters are routinely exposed to loud noise that put them at risk for hearing loss. A reliable and valid measure to assess firefighters' hearing function is important. This study aims to test the reliability and validity of the modified Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability and Handicap ((m)AIADH) in firefighters.MethodA cross‐sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 239 career firefighters from six partnered fire departments in Central Texas and Northern California. The internal consistency, convergent and criterion validity, and the ability to discriminate groups by measured hearing, perceived hearing, and a combination of measured and perceived hearing, were examined using the total score and score for each of the five subscales of the (m)AIADH.ResultsThe study participants were primarily men (93%). Satisfactory internal consistency was revealed for the (m)AIADH with Cronbach's alpha above 0.80 for all five subscales. Criterion analysis presented a moderate correlation between the (m)AIADH and the average of hearing threshold at high frequencies (4, 6, and 8 kHz). For convergent validity, the (m)AIADH was moderately to highly related with perceived hearing. There were statistically significant differences in the total (m)AIADH score and the five subscales for measured hearing thresholds except for “intelligibility in quiet.” The (m)AIADH also showed a discriminative ability to distinguish between the group with good perceived hearing and the group with bad perceived hearing.ConclusionThe (m)AIADH is a reliable and valid measure to assess various dimensions of hearing function among firefighters.

“…Esses processos devem ser conduzidos para que seja atingido um resultado confiável, preciso, compreensível e dentro dos aspectos culturais da população-alvo (15) . Acrescido a isso, acarretam maior acurácia na mensuração de aspectos inerentes à população em questão, menores esforços, tempo e recursos financeiros, quando comparados à criação de um novo instrumento, bem como proporcionam a comparação de resultados entre diferentes amostras, permitindo a realização de estudos transculturais utilizando o mesmo instrumento (16) . Nesse contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo a tradução e adaptação cultural do Hearing Aid Skills and Knowledge Test (HASK) para o português do Brasil.…”

RESUMO Objetivo o estudo teve como objetivo a tradução e adaptação cultural do Hearing Aid Skills and Knowledge Test (HASK) para o português brasileiro. Métodos trata-se de um estudo qualitativo dos processos de tradução e adaptação cultural de um instrumento de medida da língua inglesa para o português brasileiro, baseado no método proposto por Lins et al. (2017) e Beaton et al. (2000). Ao todo, foram submetidos ao estudo 38 voluntários usuários de aparelho de amplificação sonora individual, recrutados no Serviço de Saúde Auditiva da instituição, elegíveis por critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados o processo de tradução e adaptação cultural eleito foi subdividido em cinco etapas: (1) tradução da versão original para a língua portuguesa, realizada por duas tradutoras distintas, que originou a Versão Português Consenso 1; (2) avaliação pelo comitê profissional. Dentre os 53 termos traduzidos, 23 obtiveram equivalência semântica e dois não alcançaram equivalência conceitual, idiomática e experimental. Essa etapa resultou na Versão Consenso 2; (3) retrotradução, realizada para comparação da Versão Consenso 2 com a original. Foi constatada pela autora do teste a equivalência entre ambas; (4) submissão da Versão Consenso 2 para consenso pelo Painel de Pacientes, em que três participantes apontaram o nível de dificuldade do teste como fácil e três, como médio. Nessa etapa, foi estabelecida a Versão Final do teste; (5) aplicação da Versão Final na etapa pré-teste, na qual foi evidenciada a importância de contextualização de dois termos pelo profissional que aplicou o teste. Conclusão o teste HASK foi traduzido e adaptado para a língua portuguesa, obtendo-se equivalências semânticas, idiomáticas, experimentais e conceituais.
