The aim of this study was to investigate hyperacusis measurement tools and to assess the correlation between diagnostic methods for hyperacusis in daily ENT practice. We studied two hyperacusis questionnaires: the Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ) and the Multiple-Activity Scale for Hyperacusis (MASH), audiometric measurements (uncomfortable loudness level (ULL) and dynamic range (DR)), and the questions 'Do you have a lower tolerance for noise... ?' and 'Are you afraid of noise?' Hyperacusis was assessed in 46 patients presenting with primary complaints of tinnitus. A validated Dutch version of the HQ is provided. A correlation was found between scores on the HQ and the MASH (p=0.000, R(2)=0.34). Significantly higher scores for both questionnaires were found in patients reporting decreased sound tolerance (p=0.000 and 0.002, respectively) or fear of noise (p=0.002 and 0.004, respectively). Overall, no correlations were found between scores on questionnaires and audiometric values including ULL and DR. The HQ and MASH were confirmed to be valid measurement tools for hyperacusis complaints. No correlations were found between audiometric measurements and hyperacusis complaints.
本研究旨在调查对超敏反应的测量工具,并评估超敏反应在日常耳鼻喉科实践中的诊断方法之间的相关性。我们研究了两个超敏反应问卷:超敏反应问卷(HQ)和超敏反应多活动量表(MASH),听力测量(不适响度级(ULL)和动态范围(DR)),以及问题“您对噪声的容忍度是否较低......?”和“您是否害怕噪音?”对 46 名主要主诉为耳鸣的患者进行了超敏反应评估。提供了 HQ 的经过验证的荷兰语版本。HQ 和 MASH 的得分之间存在相关性(p=0.000,R(2)=0.34)。报告声音容忍度降低(p=0.000 和 0.002,分别)或对噪音的恐惧(p=0.002 和 0.004,分别)的患者的两个问卷的得分均显着更高。总体而言,问卷得分与包括 ULL 和 DR 在内的听力测量值之间未发现相关性。HQ 和 MASH 被确认为超敏反应投诉的有效测量工具。未发现听力测量值与超敏反应投诉之间存在相关性。
