The Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ) is a self-report scale that evaluates hearing in complex daily life situations in the areas of hearing quality, speech perception, and spatial perception. It is also frequently used in the follow-up of hearing-impaired people, hearing aid and cochlear implant users. It is aimed to translate and adapt SSQ into Turkish, and to investigate its test-retest reliability, and construct validity and reliability, and further to present associations of SSQ scores with the pure tone averages (PTA).
The Turkish SSQ (Tr-SSQ) scale was administered on 114 adults including those with and without hearing loss. Cronbach's alpha was used to assess its reliability. The reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated by test-retest method. Associations of SSQ scores with PTAs in better and worse hearing ears (BHE and WHE) were evaluated.
Tr-SSQ presented high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.984) and test-retest reliability (r=0.994). Tr-SSQ scores were lower in the subjects with hearing loss and correlated with PTAs. Age was found to be correlated with PTAs; regression analysis demonstrated that only WHE-PTA was extracted as explanatory variable for average Tr-SSQ, speech perception and spatial perception scores while both BHE-PTA and WHE-PTA were found to be predictors of hearing quality, but not age for any of Tr-SSQ scores.
Tr-SSQ is a convenient tool for assessing the hearing abilities of individuals with hearing impaired.
言语、空间和听力质量量表（SSQ）是一种自我报告量表，用于评估复杂日常生活情境下听力质量、言语感知和空间感知方面的听力情况。它也常用于听力受损者、助听器和人工耳蜗使用者的随访。旨在将SSQ翻译成土耳其语并进行适应性调整，研究其重测信度、结构效度和信度，并进一步呈现SSQ分数与纯音平均听阈（PTA）之间的关联。
对114名成年人（包括有听力损失和无听力损失者）施测土耳其语SSQ（Tr-SSQ）量表。采用Cronbach's α系数评估其信度。通过重测法计算量表的信度系数。评估SSQ分数与较好耳和较差耳（BHE和WHE）的PTA之间的关联。
Tr-SSQ具有较高的内部一致性（Cronbach's α = 0.984）和重测信度（r = 0.994）。听力损失受试者的Tr-SSQ分数较低，且与PTA相关。发现年龄与PTA相关；回归分析表明，仅较差耳PTA被提取为平均Tr-SSQ、言语感知和空间感知分数的解释变量，而较好耳PTA和较差耳PTA均被发现是听力质量的预测因素，但年龄不是任何Tr-SSQ分数的预测因素。
Tr-SSQ是评估听力受损个体听力能力的便捷工具。
