“…The PHAB is a modified form of the Profile of Hearing Aid Performance (PHAP) (Cox and Gilmore, 1990 and co-workers (1996) found that only about 25% of people consulting a professional about a hearing problem were self-motivated. The majority of their subjects were motivated by family members or friends to address their hearing difficulties.…”

“…Apart from direct measurements of speech intelligibility, data gathered by means of a questionnaire based on a modified Abbreviated Profile for Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) (Cox, Alexander, 1995;Cox, Gilmore, 1990) were calculated. The hearing aid users who participated in this research were asked to fill in the appropriate questionnaires.…”

The paper presents the results of sentence and logatome speech intelligibility measured in rooms with induction loop for hearing aid users. Two rooms with different acoustic parameters were chosen. Twenty two subjects with mild, moderate and severe hearing impairment using hearing aids took part in the experiment. The intelligibility tests composed of sentences or logatomes were presented to the subjects at fixed measurement points of an enclosure. It was shown that a sentence test is more useful tool for speech intelligibility measurements in a room than logatome test. It was also shown that induction loop is very efficient system at improving speech intelligibility. Additionally, the questionnaire data showed that induction loop, apart from improving speech intelligibility, increased a subject's general satisfaction with speech perception.

“…Performance with hearing aids can be defined as 'the hearing ability when listening aided' [Cox and Gilmore, 1990]. Several clinically used inventories such as the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit [Cox and Alexander, 1995] or the Gothenburg Profile [Ringdahl et al, 1998] address aided performance.…”

Modeling Relationships between Various Domains of Hearing Aid Provision

Various inventories have been developed to quantify the success of hearing aid provision. Though numerous parameters including initial measures (hearing disability, handicap) or ‘outcome measures’ (e.g. benefit, satisfaction and usage) are recorded, relationships and interactions among them are still unclear. A study applying a questionnaire addressing 11 domains relevant to amplification was conducted in order to generate different psychometric models with the AMOS^© software package for structural equation modeling. The models expose easily interpretable interactions and are helpful in understanding effects occurring with commonly used outcome measures: benefit reflects the difference between the aided and unaided condition but additionally comprises the importance of the hearing aid within a specific situation. Satisfaction is highly reliant on benefit. Usage is strongly dependent on the severity of hearing problems and therefore not appropriate in assessing the success of amplification. Moreover, the models help to predict the outcome of clinically used inventories (i.e. the Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile).
