To study psychological well-being (health-related quality of life) in a population of adults 20 years and over with hearing impairment (HI) and its relation to audiological factors, consequences of the HI, sense of humour, and use of communication strategies.
Consecutive adults (n = 343) at the outpatient Unit of Audiology of a Norwegian university hospital answered the Psychological General Well-being inventory (PGWB), Hearing Disability and Handicap Scale (HDHS), Sense of Humour Questionnaire-6 (SHQ-6), and Communication Strategies Scale (CSS) in relation to an audiological examination and medical consultation.
Mean PGWB index for the whole sample was 81.4 (SD 14.3) and females reported a significantly lower psychological well-being. In multiple linear regression analyses well-being was negatively associated with high levels of activity limitation and participation restriction. PGWB index was positively associated with high sense of humour, but was neither explained by audiological factors nor use of communication strategies.
Psychological well-being was associated with the outcome of a standard HI assessment of activity limitation and participation restriction, but not with degree of HI and use of communication strategies.
研究20岁及以上听力障碍（HI）成年人的心理健康（与健康相关的生活质量）及其与听力学因素、HI后果、幽默感和沟通策略使用之间的关系。
挪威一家大学医院听力门诊的连续成年患者（n = 343）在接受听力学检查和医学咨询时，回答了心理总体幸福感量表（PGWB）、听力残疾和障碍量表（HDHS）、幽默感问卷-6（SHQ-6）以及沟通策略量表（CSS）。
整个样本的平均PGWB指数为81.4（标准差14.3），女性报告的心理健康水平显著较低。在多元线性回归分析中，幸福感与高水平的活动受限和参与受限呈负相关。PGWB指数与高幽默感呈正相关，但既不受听力学因素也不受沟通策略使用情况的影响。
心理健康与标准HI评估中活动受限和参与受限的结果相关，但与HI程度和沟通策略的使用无关。
