The purpose of this work was to create a rapid and simple instrument to evaluate the benefits of a hearing aid, that was at the same time reliable and complete. We created a new questionnaire by integration of other well consolidated psychometric tests to better investigate all the aspects that contribute in determining the hearing aid benefit, also considering as important some areas that are not usually considered (spatiality and quality of sound). We started from a 36-item questionnaire divided in six subscales (spatiality and quality of signal, intelligibility in silence, background noise intelligibility, averseness and reverberation), and submitted it to patients before hearing aid application and at 2-3 months after that. A statistically significant difference between results before and after hearing aid application was found. To obtain the final 30-item questionnaire, we analyzed the reliability of each subscale using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and eliminated the item whose internal consistency was lower for every subscale. For these reasons, the CISQ questionnaire is a rapid and simple test that can be considered a reliable and complete instrument to evaluate the benefits of a hearing aid.
这项工作的目的是创建一种快速、简单的工具来评估助听器的益处，同时该工具要可靠且全面。我们通过整合其他完善的心理测量测试创建了一份新问卷，以更好地研究所有有助于确定助听器益处的方面，同时将一些通常未被考虑的重要领域（空间感和声音质量）也纳入考量。我们从一份包含36个项目、分为六个子量表（信号的空间感和质量、安静环境下的可懂度、背景噪声下的可懂度、厌恶感和混响）的问卷开始，并在患者佩戴助听器之前以及之后2至3个月将其提交给患者。结果发现，佩戴助听器前后的结果存在统计学上的显著差异。为了得到最终的30项问卷，我们使用克朗巴哈系数分析了每个子量表的信度，并删除了每个子量表中内部一致性较低的项目。基于这些原因，CISQ问卷是一种快速、简单的测试，可被视为评估助听器益处的可靠且全面的工具。
