| ABSTRACT |
|
In order to understand and rehabilitate the hearing impaired, we need to evaluate speech perception abilities in various listening
situations and estimate the effects of hearing loss in regard to social and psychological aspects. The scale for the hearing handicap
can provide such information. The purpose of this study was to provide fundamental information in the development of the Korean
evaluation scale for hearing handicap (KESHH). The KESHH consisted of 30 items with 5 subscales. Data were collected from 12
hearing aid users (male: 7 people, female: 5 people). The average age was 54.3 years old (male: 52.7 years old, female: 56.7 years
old). The pure tone average of 0.1, 1, 2, 4 kHz was 64.8 dB HL (SD=20.69) in the right ear, and 69.27 dB HL (SD=31.99) in the
left ear. All participants completed KESHH questionnaires. The reliability of the KESHH was analyzed by utilizing the Cronbach
alpha value. The results of this study are as follows: First, interrogative questions of the items need to be modified into declarative
forms. Second, a questionnaire for Type-1 for hearing aid users (HA) and Type-2 for non hearing aid users (NHA) must be separated
and need modification in each item. Third, items with low reliability need to be complemented. Fourth, a mode of response should
be rearranged appropriately. Conclusively, it is suggested that other variable factors be analyzed for reliability and validity of the items
in development and standardization of KESHH. |
