Using the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA), we assessed self-perceived hearing handicap in a sample of 63 patients having either unilaterally normal hearing or a mild hearing loss (pure tone average < or = 40 dB hearing level). Large intersubject variability in responses to the HHIA confirmed observations that reactions to minimal hearing impairment vary greatly among patients. The individual differences in responses highlight the importance of quantifying the perceived communication and psychosocial handicap, which cannot be determined from the audiogram alone. An item examination of responses to the HHIA revealed a number of emotional and social-situational problems encountered by patients with minimal hearing loss.
我们使用成人听力障碍调查表（HHIA），对63例单侧听力正常或轻度听力损失（纯音平均听阈≤40 dB听力级）的患者样本进行了自我感知听力障碍评估。对HHIA的反应存在较大的个体间差异，这证实了之前的观察结果，即患者对轻度听力损伤的反应差异很大。反应的个体差异突出了量化感知到的交流和心理社会障碍的重要性，这无法仅从听力图中确定。对HHIA反应的项目检查揭示了轻度听力损失患者遇到的一些情感和社会情境问题。
