The Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE) is a self-assessment tool, composed of emotional and social/situational subscales and designed to measure the perceived effects of hearing impairment in the noninstitutionalized elderly. Previous study has indicated that the HHIE has a high internal consistency, as well as high split-half reliability. The present study was undertaken to examine test-retest reliability associated with the HHIE, as the latter information is prerequisite to the application of the HHIE as a measure of change in perception of handicap which may result from audiologic intervention. Forty-seven noninstitutionalized elderly individuals with sensorineural hearing loss were sampled, using two measurement techniques: face-to-face (N = 20) and paper-and-pencil (N = 27) administration. Test-retest reliability was high for both the face-to-face and paper-and-pencil administration, suggesting that the HHIE has potential as a measure of change resulting from rehabilitation.
老年人听力障碍调查表（HHIE）是一种自我评估工具，由情感和社会/情境分量表组成，旨在测量非机构化老年人中听力障碍的感知影响。先前的研究表明，HHIE具有较高的内部一致性以及较高的分半信度。本研究旨在检验与HHIE相关的重测信度，因为后一项信息是将HHIE用作衡量听力干预可能导致的残疾认知变化的指标的先决条件。采用两种测量技术对47名患有感音神经性听力损失的非机构化老年人进行了抽样：面对面（N = 20）和纸笔（N = 27）施测。面对面和纸笔施测的重测信度都很高，这表明HHIE有潜力作为康复效果的衡量指标。
