This investigation was conducted to determine the relationship between self-assessed hearing handicap and audiometric measures in a large sample of noninstitutionalized elderly individuals. Eighty subjects underwent a complete audiological evaluation and responded to the Hearing Measurement Scale (HMS). Each of the correlations between measures of sensitivity and the HMS score was statistically significant. The speech discrimination scores showed a somewhat lower correlation with the HMS score than did pure-tone measures. The implications of the above findings are discussed.
本次调查旨在确定在大量非机构化老年人样本中，自我评估的听力障碍与听力测定指标之间的关系。80名受试者接受了全面的听力学评估，并对听力测量量表（HMS）做出了回应。灵敏度测量指标与HMS得分之间的每一项相关性均具有统计学意义。言语辨别得分与HMS得分的相关性略低于纯音测量指标。本文讨论了上述研究结果的意义。
