Abstract:
Self-assessment of hearing is being used for screening, diagnostic, and rehabilitative audiology. Hearing handicap/disability measures were derived on a large number of patients who were classified based on pure tone findings into Pure Tone Groups (PTGs). A systematic relationship was found between handicap/disability as measured with Self-Assessment of Communication (SAC) and PTG. Handicap/disability ratings were also found to be systematically related to use of hearing aids.
