"The measurement of hearing handicap" revisited: a 20-year perspective.

Interest in the development of self-assessment instruments to measure the handicapping effect of hearing difficulty has grown in the last 20 years. Numerous paper and pencil instruments are now available which vary in purpose, design, and psychometric underpinings. This paper discusses the status of the self-assessment approach in clinical audiology, presents a point of view regarding some of the factors contributing to this status and proposes some frontiers still open to self-assessment instruments in the assessment of hearing handicap.

Hearing performance inventory.

The Hearing Performance Inventory (HPI) was developed to assess hearing performance in problem areas experienced in everyday listening. It consists of six sections: (1) Understanding Speech, (2) Intensity, (3) Response to Auditory Failure, (4) Social, (5) Personal, and (6) Occupational. A self-report response style is used. Sentences were written to describe a number of listening situations covering a variety of talker characteristics and communication processes. The development, current status, and clinical implications of the HPI are presented.
