    Summary

    This study validated the Hearing Measurement Scale for adults with severe to profound hearing loss. A modified scale is recommended for improved assessment of hearing impairment in this population.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Psychometrics
    • Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Sensorineural hearing loss affects employment-age adults.
    • Accurate hearing measurement is crucial for effective management.
    • Existing scales may require adaptation for specific populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the validity of the Hearing Measurement Scale.
    • To assess its suitability for adults with severe to profound hearing impairment.
    • To propose modifications for enhanced clinical utility.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered the Hearing Measurement Scale to 88 adults.
    • Utilized factor analysis to examine scale structure and validity.
    • Analyzed data from adults with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss.

    Main Results:

    • Factor analysis confirmed the overall validity of the Hearing Measurement Scale.
    • Minor exceptions were noted in the scale's factor structure.
    • The scale demonstrated applicability to the target demographic.

    Conclusions:

    • The Hearing Measurement Scale is a valid tool for assessing hearing in adults with severe to profound hearing loss.
    • A modified version of the scale is suggested for this population.
    • This adaptation can improve the assessment of hearing impairment.
