Keypoints * The Dutch National Hearing Test is a reliable and very successful functional hearing-screening test by telephone. An internet version of the National Hearing Test was also implemented. * The National Hearing Test is a fully automatic adaptive speech-in-noise test that uses digit-triplets as speech material. The result of the test is given as 'good,''insufficient,' or 'poor.' * The test by telephone performs better in reaching older subjects, who are more likely to suffer from hearing loss, than the test by internet. * More than 50% of the participants who scored 'insufficient' or 'poor' followed the recommendation to visit a GP, hearing-aid dispenser, ENT specialist or Audiological Center. * The tests contribute to increase the identification and treatment of older hearing-impaired subjects.
要点
荷兰国家听力测试是一种可靠且非常成功的通过电话进行的功能性听力筛查测试。还实施了国家听力测试的网络版。
国家听力测试是一种全自动自适应噪声环境下的言语测试，使用数字三联体作为言语材料。测试结果分为“良好”“不足”或“差”。
与网络测试相比，电话测试在覆盖年龄较大的受试者方面表现更好，而这些受试者更有可能患有听力损失。
超过50%得分“不足”或“差”的参与者听从建议去看了全科医生、助听器经销商、耳鼻喉科专家或听力中心。
这些测试有助于增加对老年听力受损受试者的识别和治疗。
