A retrospective analysis of tonal and speech loudness discomfort levels (LDLs) relative to a subjective report of sound tolerance (SRST) was performed to explore the relation between the 2 commonly used clinical measures.
Tonal LDLs and SRST were measured for 139 U.S. military veterans who were recruited into a study providing intervention for tinnitus. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were computed to assess the relation between the tonal and speech LDLs and the SRST.
Only weak correlations were found between tonal LDLs and SRST and between speech LDLs and SRST.
If LDLs ratings of SRST measured the same phenomenon, the measures would be strongly negatively correlated. The weak correlations found between the measures suggest that LDLs do not accurately represent a patient's ability to tolerate sound in daily life.
对音调不适阈和言语响度不适阈(LDLs)与主观声音耐受报告(SRST)进行回顾性分析,以探讨这两种常用临床测量方法之间的关系。
对139名被招募到一项耳鸣干预研究中的美国退伍军人测量了音调LDLs和SRST。计算斯皮尔曼等级相关系数,以评估音调LDLs、言语LDLs与SRST之间的关系。
在音调LDLs与SRST之间以及言语LDLs与SRST之间仅发现弱相关性。
如果SRST的LDLs评分测量的是同一现象,那么这些测量方法将呈强负相关。测量方法之间发现的弱相关性表明,LDLs不能准确代表患者在日常生活中耐受声音的能力。
