Abstract:
The present study was designed to investigate a protocol to facilitate identification of probable hearing loss among 59 older adults (ages 60 to 84 yr.) using the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly--Screening Version, a self-assessment questionnaire. Analysis suggests the scale has excellent potential for identifying hearing loss among older adults.
