Abstract
|
|
|
|
The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery recently developed a questionnaire called the "Five-Minute Hearing Test". The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the test by correlating the "Five-Minute Hearing Test" results to various audiologic results obtained for the same patients and to analyze the test characteristics with pure-tone measures as a standard criterion. The "Five-Minute Hearing Test" was administered to 111 patients older than 55 years. The "Five-Minute Hearing Test" scores significantly correlated with all audiologic measures, especially with the SRT and pure-tone measure. If the cutoff score were changed, the "Five-Minute Hearing Test" would be a reliable hearing screening tool for identification of hearing loss among the elderly population. Specific recommandations include adjustment of the cutoff score to at least 10 and revision of a few selected test items.
