The aims of this study were to investigate hearing aid satisfaction for a group of older Australians fitted with government-funded hearing aids using the Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life (SADL) questionnaire; to compare the Australian data gathered with the provisional normative data reported by Cox and Alexander (1999); and to investigate the relationship between SADL satisfaction and several participant variables, hearing aid variables, and other outcome measures. The SADL questionnaire and a Client Satisfaction Survey (CSS) were distributed by mail to 1284 adults fitted with government-funded hearing aids three to six months previously. 1014 surveys were returned. The mean age of participants was 75.32 years; 54.4% of participants were male, and 54.8% were fitted binaurally. Participants were fitted primarily with digitally programmable hearing aids of various styles (22.5% BTEs, 34.8% ITEs, 41.8% ITCs, 0.9% nonstandard [NS] devices). Overall, participants reported a considerable level of satisfaction with their devices. SADL Global and subscale scores were significantly higher for the Australian sample than the U.S. norms described by Cox and Alexander (1999).
本研究的目的是使用日常生活中的放大满意度（SADL）问卷，调查一组配备政府资助助听器的澳大利亚老年人对助听器的满意度；将收集到的澳大利亚数据与考克斯和亚历山大（1999年）报告的临时规范数据进行比较；并调查SADL满意度与几个参与者变量、助听器变量和其他结果指标之间的关系。SADL问卷和客户满意度调查（CSS）通过邮件分发给1284名在三到六个月前配备了政府资助助听器的成年人。共收回1014份调查问卷。参与者的平均年龄为75.32岁；54.4%的参与者为男性，54.8%的人双耳佩戴助听器。参与者主要佩戴各种款式的数字可编程助听器（22.5%为耳背式，34.8%为耳道式，41.8%为完全耳道式，0.9%为非标准[NS]设备）。总体而言，参与者对其设备表示相当满意。澳大利亚样本的SADL总体得分和子量表得分显著高于考克斯和亚历山大（1999年）描述的美国标准。
