Abstract
The International Outcome Inventory—Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) was administered to 161 consecutive patients who had been fitted with hearing aids just prior to their being discharged from the clinic. Most also completed the Client-oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI). Very few questions (< 2%) were not completed. Analyses indicated two subscales of IOI-HA, one of which could be defined as a ‘benefit’ subscale and the other a ‘residual problems’ subscale. Both elements of COSI corrclated with the ‘benefit’ subscale, but only the ‘residual’ measure of COSI related to the ‘residual problems’ subscale. There were no consistent relationships between the IOI-HA and a range of demographic factors.
Sumario
El inventario Internacional de Resultados para Auxliares Auditivos (IOI-HA) se administrócute; a 161 pacientes consecutivos a quienes les fueron adaptados auxiliares auditivos justamente antes de habcr cgresado de la clínica. Muchos tambien completaron la Escala de Mejoria Orientada hacia el Cliente (COSI). Muy pocas preguntas (7< 1%) quedaron sin respuesta. Los analisis indican que hay dos subescalas del IOI-HA, una de las cuales podria definirse como la subescala “de beneficio” y la otra como la subescala de “problemas residuales”. Ambos elementos del COSI se correlacionan con la subescala “de benefieio”, pero solo la medicion “residual” del COSI se relaciona con la subescala de “problemas residuales”. No se encontraron relaciones consistentes entre el IOI-HA y el rango de factores demográficos.
