The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Chinese version of Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (C-SSQ12) in the Chinese Mandarin-speaking population and to determine its screening cut-off value by comparing measured pure-tone average (PTA), the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly-Screening Version (HHIE-S) scores and C-SSQ12 scores.
All participants completed the C-SSQ12 questionnaire and underwent the pure-tone audiometry. Older subjects aged ≧ 60 years completed the HHIE-S questionnaire. The optimal cut-off value for the C-SSQ12 as a hearing screening tool was calculated by comparing different cut-offs and hearing thresholds.
A total of 300 subjects were recruited.
There was a negative correlation between C-SSQ12 scores and HHIE-S scores (r = -0.749). C-SSQ12 scores were negatively correlated with PTA (r = -0.507; r = -0.542). The best cut-off value for the C-SSQ12 was 6.0, with a sensitivity of 78.2%, specificity of 80.3%, positive predictive value of 63.7% and negative predictive value of 97.0% (PTA > 40dBHL for bilateral ears).
Compared to mild hearing loss, the C-SSQ12 is a reliable and validated hearing screening tool with increased sensitivity for detecting moderate-to-severe hearing loss.
本研究旨在评估中文版言语、空间和听力质量量表（C-SSQ12）在说汉语普通话人群中的有效性，并通过比较测量的纯音平均听阈（PTA）、老年人听力障碍筛查量表（HHIE-S）得分和C-SSQ12得分来确定其筛查临界值。
所有参与者均完成C-SSQ12问卷并接受纯音听力测试。60岁及以上的老年受试者完成HHIE-S问卷。通过比较不同的临界值和听力阈值，计算出C-SSQ12作为听力筛查工具的最佳临界值。
共招募了300名受试者。
C-SSQ12得分与HHIE-S得分呈负相关（r = -0.749）。C-SSQ12得分与PTA呈负相关（r = -0.507；r = -0.542）。C-SSQ12的最佳临界值为6.0，灵敏度为78.2%，特异度为80.3%，阳性预测值为63.7%，阴性预测值为97.0%（双耳PTA>40dBHL）。
与轻度听力损失相比，C-SSQ12是一种可靠且经过验证的听力筛查工具，对检测中度至重度听力损失具有更高的灵敏度。
