Guidelines/Instructions
This set of questions asks the participant to self-report any difficulties with hearing or hearing-related activities. Each participant will answer ten questions. Two of the questions differ for participants ages 18-64 (HHIA-S) and those ages 65-85 (HHIE-S) years of age. The questions are introduced by the following text on the computer screen: The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify any problems your hearing may cause you. Click ýNoý, ýSometimesý, or ýYesý to answer each question. Do not skip a question if you avoid a situation because of a hearing problem. If you currently use hearing aids, please answer as if you were WITHOUT your hearing aids. After you make your choice, the computer will automatically go to the next question. If you want to change your answer, click on the GO BACK button to return to the question, then choose a different answer. Click the NEXT button when you are ready to begin. Note: If a participant has difficulty using the mouse, he/she may point and the examiner can operate the mouse. FOR NIH TOOLBOX: This supplemental instrument is a brief, reliable self-report measure of hearing-related disability. There is a 10-item survey for adults ages 18-64, and another 10-item form for ages 65-85. This survey has validity in studies that examine correlations with audiometric testing (e.g., pure tone audiometry, such as the NIH Toolbox Hearing Threshold Test). This test can be administered to participants ages 18 and older and requires three minutes to administer.
Preferred Question Text
Question 20 on HHIE and HHIA 25 item forms; Question 9 on HHIE-S and HHIA-S 10 item forms: E: 20 Do you feel that any difficulty with your hearing limits or hampers your personal or social life?
