-The Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults - screening version (HHIA-S) ​is a 10-item self-assessment ​scale that aims to assess the presence of hearing loss and its impact on the quality of life ([[sections|section]]:​ [[wellbeing & subjective health]]). ​It is a shorter ​version ​of the HHIA, which in turn is a modification of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE((Newman, CW et al. Test-Retest Reliability of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults. Ear and Hearing 12(5); 355-357))\\ +The Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults - screening version (HHIA-S) ​and the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly - screening version (HHIE-S) are two largely overlapping ​10-item self-assessment ​scales ​that aim to assess the presence of hearing loss and its impact on the quality of life ([[sections|section]]:​ [[wellbeing & subjective health]]). ​They are the shorter ​versions ​of the 25-item ​HHIA and HHIE((Newman,​ CW et al. (1991) ​Test-Retest Reliability of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults. Ear and Hearing 12(5); 355-357))((Liechtenstein MJ et al. (1988) Validation of screening tools for identifying hearing-impaired elderly in primary care. JAMA 259(19):​2875-2878))\\

 ===== Scoring ===== ===== Scoring =====
-The 10-item screening version of the HHIA contains 5 emotional (2a/​b/​e/​i/​k)and five social/​situational (2d/​f/​h/​j/​l) ​items, selected from the 25-item version ​of the HHIA. Participants indicated ​if this was applicable to their life: yes (4 points), no (0 points), or sometimes (2 points). ​Higher total score values indicate greater ​perceived handicap.\\ +The HHIA contains ​10 questions: ​'emotional' items (2a/​b/​e/​i/​k) and 5 'social/​situational' items (2d/​f/​h/​j/​l).\\ 
-Note that one basic question about potential hearing problems (1) was added, determining if participants should fill in the HHIA-S, and two questions about limitations (2c/2g) were added but should not be included in the scoring.\\ +The HHIE contains ​the same 10 questions, except that two of the '​social/​situation'​ items are replaced by items that fit better with the elderly target group (2d -> 2c, and 2h -> 2g). 
 +  
 +Scoring works as follows:\\  
 +Participants indicated ​for all 12 items (8 overlapping HHIA/E items + 2 HHIA-specific items + 2 HHIE-specific items) to what extent it was applicable to their life: yes (4 points), no (0 points), or sometimes (2 points).\\  
 +Since the scoring is validated for only 10 items, researchers must decide whether they want to score the HHIA (8 overlapping items + 2 HHIA-specific items) or the HHIE (8 overlapping questions + 2 HHIE-specific items) for a given participant.  
 +Adding up all the points for the resulting set of 10 age-appropriate items gives the following sum scores: 
 +  * 0-8 = no self-perceived handicap 
 +  * 10 to 24 = mild to moderate handicap 
 +  * 26 to 40 = severe handicap 
 + 
 +Note that one basic question about potential hearing problems (1) preceded ​the HHIA/E-S. Participants without any hearing problems skipped the HHIA/E-S.\\
