In 430 individuals with adult onset hearing loss, relationships were explored between definitions of handicap based on a number of arithmetic formulas applied to audiometric data and definitions of handicap based on two self-report questionnaires (the Denver Scale of Communication Function and the Social Hearing Handicap Index). Resulting linear correlations were very low with the highest relationship--between better ear pure-tone average and perceived handicap--being only 0.38. Of the standard hearing handicap formulas, the 1947 American Medical Association calculation and the 1980 Ohio State formula showed the highest correlations with perceived handicap (0.33 and 0.28, respectively). The results highlight the difference between audiometrically calculated and self-reported hearing handicap.
在430例成年后发生听力损失的个体中，探讨了基于应用于听力测定数据的若干算术公式得出的残疾定义与基于两份自我报告问卷（丹佛交流功能量表和社会听力残疾指数）得出的残疾定义之间的关系。得出的线性相关性非常低，其中最高的相关性——较好耳纯音平均听阈与感知残疾之间——仅为0.38。在标准的听力残疾公式中，1947年美国医学协会的计算方法和1980年俄亥俄州立大学的公式与感知残疾的相关性最高（分别为0.33和0.28）。结果突出了听力测定计算得出的听力残疾与自我报告的听力残疾之间的差异。
