Background:

Individuals with severe to profound hearing loss often face significant communication challenges.
Existing self-assessment tools may not adequately capture the nuances of their daily communicative experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a quantifiable and reliable self-rating inventory for assessing communication performance in individuals with severe to profound hearing loss.
To refine inventory items and categories to ensure high internal consistency and relevance for rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

Fifty participants with severe to profound hearing loss, using hearing aids, rated themselves on 125 items across diverse communicative situations.
Items were categorized and refined based on internal consistency, measured by high alpha coefficients.

Main Results:

A six-scale inventory with 58 items was developed, demonstrating high internal consistency (alpha coefficients ≥ .86).
Scales include: Understanding Speech With Visual Cues, Intensity, Response to Auditory Failure, Environmental Sounds, Understanding Speech With No Visual Cues, and Personal.
An additional 16 items addressing specific rehabilitative concerns were included.

Conclusions:

The developed inventory provides a reliable and quantifiable measure for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss.
The scales effectively address various aspects of communication performance and individual rehabilitative needs.
This tool can support personalized audiological rehabilitation and improve quality of life.
