The World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has adopted a multifactorial understanding of functioning and disability, merging a biomedical paradigm with a social paradigm into a wider understanding of human functioning. Altogether there are more than 1400 ICF-categories describing different aspects of human functioning and there is a need to developing short lists of ICF categories to facilitate use of the classification scheme in clinical practice. To our knowledge, there is currently no such standard measuring instrument to facilitate a common validated way of assessing the effects of hearing loss on the lives of adults. The aim of the project is the development of an internationally accepted, evidence-based, reliable, comprehensive and valid ICF Core Sets for Hearing Loss. The processes involved in this project are described in detail and the authors invite stakeholders, clinical experts and persons with hearing loss to actively participate in the development process.
世界卫生组织的《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）采用了对功能和残疾的多因素理解，将生物医学范式与社会范式融合为更广泛的人类功能理解。总共有 1400 多个 ICF 类别描述了人类功能的不同方面，需要开发 ICF 类别简短列表，以促进在临床实践中使用分类方案。据我们所知，目前没有这样的标准测量工具来方便地以一种共同的、经过验证的方式评估听力损失对成年人生活的影响。该项目的目的是制定国际公认的、基于证据的、可靠的、全面的和有效的听力损失 ICF 核心集。该项目所涉及的过程有详细描述，作者邀请利益相关者、临床专家和听力损失者积极参与开发过程。
