“…The SADL scale, developed by Cox et al [4] is a simple questionnaire that can evaluate various elements of satisfaction independently. Translated versions of the SADL have been validated as useful tools for measuring satisfaction with hearing aids and fittings in Korea [26]. Various variables of satisfaction are summed up in four items and 15 questions in various questionnaires and investigations.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of and satisfaction with hearing aids as a treatment option for tinnitus with hearing loss. Methods: This retrospective study used the tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), the satisfaction with amplification in daily life (SADL) questionnaire, and a medical chart review. A total of 116 patients treated between August 2018 and December 2020 were included. All patients with tinnitus and hearing loss underwent the same counseling sessions. Sixty patients chose to have hearing aids fitted (aided group), whereas 56 patients chose not to (non-aided group). Both the groups had similar audiometric configurations, durations of tinnitus, and ages. Structured interviews were performed, with various measures evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the THI questionnaire, before and six months after fitting the hearing aids. The SADL questionnaire was administered 6 months after fitting the hearing aids. Results: The patients’ THI scores reduced 6 months after the counseling, but the improvement in the THI scores was only significant in the group that received hearing aids. There were significant differences between the VAS scores of the two groups, and the changes in the VAS scores in the groups were statistically different. Subjective satisfaction with a hearing aid increased with improvements to tinnitus-related discomfort. Conclusion: The study’s results indicated that patients with hearing loss and tinnitus can be treated with hearing aids and counseling.

Purpose: Aural rehabilitation has been used to reduce communication difficulties related to hearing loss and minimize their consequence in everyday life. Aural rehabilitation includes diagnosis and identification of hearing loss, provision of appropriate assistive listening devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, auditory training, speechreading, and communication strategies training. Communication strategies refer to a course of action taken to facilitate conversation interaction or to correct communication problems. Compared to other components of aural rehabilitation, communication strategies have not been focused on as a significant evaluation tool in spite of their importance in daily life. This study aimed to develop a Korean version of the Communication Scale for Older Adults (K-CSOA) originally designed by Kaplan et al. (1997) to evaluate the changes in communication strategies and attitudes.Methods: The K-CSOA was composed of communication strategies and communication attitudes. The Communication strategies have three subcategories of Facilitative (10 items), Repair (15 items), and Preparatory strategies (16 items). The communication attitudes have also three subcategories of Own Attitude (19 items), Family’s Attitude (7 items), and Others Attitude (5 items). The validity and reliability of K-CSOA were obtained with total sixty subjects consisting of thirty subjects with normal hearing and thirty subjects with different degrees of hearing loss with mean age of 72 years old ranging from 60 years old to 85 years old.Results: The validity and reliability of the K-CSOA were measured using Pearson`s correlation coefficient, Cronbach Alpha coefficient, and independent t-tests. The correlation coefficients were high (.502-.984) between total means of K-CSOA and subcategories of K-CSOA. The internal consistency ranged from .802 to .930 for Communication Strategies and from .620 to .962 for Communication Attitudes. The test-retest correlation of the K-CSOA was .986 and .988 for Communication Strategies and Attitudes, respectively. The correlation coefficient was .784 between the K-CSOA and Korean Hearing Handicap for the Elderly (KHHIE). In addition, there were significant differences in Communication Strategies and Communication Attitudes between the normal hearing and hearing loss groups.Conclusion: These results indicate that K-CSOA can be used as a useful clinical tool providing in-depth information regarding communication strategies and attitudes in Korean elderly people.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the Korean version of profile of hearing aid benefit-quick version (K-PHAB-Q) which shortens 20 questions of K-PHAB into 10 for efficient evaluation of hearing aids benefit. Methods: First, responses for the questionnaires were collected from 140 hearing aid users (average age: 67.39). K-PHAB-Q consists of ease of communication (EC), background noise (BN), reverberation (RV), aversiveness of sounds (AV) and localization (LC), and was verified through factor analysis, principal component analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha analysis for a total of 10 selected items. Second, the K-PHAB-Q questionnaire was collected by test-retesting for a total of 40 hearing aid users (average age: 71.98). The collected questionnaires were verified by paired <i>t</i>-test and Pearson correlation coefficient, and the 95% prediction interval (PI) was calculated to establish the standard of change in subjective satisfaction on hearing aid users. Results: The results of this study were 1) according to Cronbach’s alpha analysis of K-PHAB-Q, the internal consistency of all items was high as 0.854, 2) test-retest result of K-PHAB-Q showed no significant difference (r > 0.05) and showed high correlation in all items, 3) The 95% PI of EC, BN, RV, AV, and LC showed ± 16.823, ± 17.734, ± 12.123, ± 14.404, and ± 8.193 respectively. Conclusion: K-PHAB-Q, will be useful for hearing aid verification or validation at hearing aid fitting management sites in a short time.
