The revised form of the Hearing Performance Inventory

The revised Hearing Performance Inventory contains 90 items selected in part on a statistical basis and in part on clinical relevance from a previous experimental form. An analysis of the responses of 354 hearing-impaired subjects was used to evaluate the performance of each of the 90 items remaining in the Revised Form. Because the only items eliminated were either found or deemed to be too easy, too difficult or redundant, the Revised Form maintains the strength of the previous form while reducing significantly the time required for its administration.
