成年后开始耳聋者所感受的听力障碍的程度不同。到目前为止,对听力障碍的估价主要通过对听力测验数据的计算式自我报告度量法,一般认为,前者缺乏评定个体在社会交往中的差异,后者则仅代表了患者的主观估价。虽然Nobel等(1978)认为上述两种方法结合可以对听力障碍患者作出有根据的估价,但作者认为这种估价缺乏足够的实验证据。作者在本文中探讨了这两种方法对听力障碍估价的相互关系。共检查了430例成年后开始有听力障碍的患者,然后采用一系列不同的公式对听力测验的数据进行计算,另外采用两组自我报告的指标对这些患者作出听力障碍程度的估价。结果表明上述两种方法的相关性极低,相关系数最大的仅为0.38,其中同按美国医学会(1947)和俄亥俄州立大学(1980)的听力障碍公式计算的相关系数分别是0.33和0.28。
The degree of hearing impairment experienced by deaf people after they begin to differ. Until now, the assessment of hearing impairment has been mainly based on a computational self-report metric of listening test data. It is generally accepted that the former lacks assessment of individual differences in social interaction and the latter represents only the patient’s subjective valuation. Although Nobel et al. (1978) concluded that the combination of these two methods can provide a valid assessment of hearing impaired patients, the authors believe that this assessment lacks sufficient experimental evidence. In this paper, the author explores the interrelationship between these two methods in hearing impairment assessment. A total of 430 adults with hearing impairment after adulthood were examined, and then audiometric data were calculated using a series of different formulas. Two sets of self-reported indicators were used to assess the degree of hearing impairment in these patients. The results showed that the correlation between the above two methods was very low, with the highest correlation coefficient being only 0.38. The correlation coefficients calculated from the hearing impairment formulas of the American Medical Association (1947) and Ohio State University (1980) were 0.33 and 0.28 respectively.
