Previous studies have suggested that personality factors may affect responses of the normally hearing and those with organic or non-organic hearing losses in audiological assessments. Audiometrically naive (n = 15) and sophisticated (n = 15) subjects who took part in a study of experimentally simulated hearing loss completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory in order that the relationship between personality dimensions and responses on audiometric tests could be investigated for all subjects and for males and females separately. The finding that more anxious males were less able to match pure tone losses with losses for speech suggests that differences in responses of male and female subjects to audiometric tests should be investigated, particularly in view of the preponderance of male subjects in studies of nonorganic hearing loss. A relationship between extraversion and correct speech responses on retest for the sophisticated subjects was thought to reflect abandonment of their strategies in the difficult task of matching hearing loss for speech with that for pure tones. No discernible trends were evident from the remaining analyses.
以往的研究表明，在听力评估中，人格因素可能会影响听力正常者以及患有器质性或非器质性听力损失者的反应。参与一项实验性模拟听力损失研究的听力测试新手（n = 15）和经验丰富者（n = 15）完成了艾森克人格问卷，以便分别针对所有受试者以及男性和女性，研究人格维度与听力测试反应之间的关系。研究发现，焦虑程度较高的男性在将纯音听力损失与言语听力损失相匹配方面的能力较差，这表明应研究男性和女性受试者在听力测试反应上的差异，特别是考虑到在非器质性听力损失研究中男性受试者占多数的情况。对于经验丰富的受试者，外向性与复测时正确的言语反应之间的关系被认为反映了他们在将言语听力损失与纯音听力损失相匹配这项艰巨任务中放弃了自己的策略。其余分析未发现明显趋势。
