The objective of the study was to investigate the cross-cultural validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Abbreviated Profile of the Hearing Aid Benefit questionnaire (APHAB-CH).
A convenience sampling method was used to identify and recruit subjects. The subjects completed a history form seeking demographic data, the APHAB-CH, and a questionnaire seeking a subjective rating of hearing aid performance and overall satisfaction with their hearing aid.
The subjects were 134 experienced hearing aid users.
The APHAB-CH had a good internal consistency reliability estimate (α = 0.85) comparable to that of the original version. Significant correlation was observed between the APHAB-CH scores and other subjective ratings for hearing aid performance and the overall satisfaction measure. A high test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.84) was observed. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the APHAB-CH had a two-factor structure comprising "hearing disability" and "averviseness." Normative data in terms of equal-percentile profiles were dervied for the APHAB-CH.
The results suggest that the APHAB-CH is a reliable and valid measure of the outcomes of hearing aid fitting.
本研究旨在探讨中文版助听效果简明问卷（APHAB-CH）的跨文化效度和信度。
采用便利抽样法选取研究对象。研究对象填写一份包含人口统计学数据的病史表、APHAB-CH 及一份旨在评估助听效果和对助听设备总体满意度的主观评分问卷。
研究对象为 134 名有经验的助听器使用者。
APHAB-CH 的内部一致性信度评估值较高（α=0.85），与原始版本相当。APHAB-CH 评分与其他助听效果和总体满意度的主观评估之间存在显著相关性。测试-重测信度高（组内相关系数=0.84）。验证性因子分析表明，APHAB-CH 具有“听力障碍”和“适应困难”两个因子结构。为 APHAB-CH 制定了等百分位图谱的常模数据。
研究结果表明，APHAB-CH 是评估助听器适配效果的可靠且有效的测量工具。
