Hearing Loss
Conditions
Brief summary
Seek the simple tool as questionnaire for screening hearing loss. The FMHT was developed by American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS). It is a standard hearing questionnaire. So, we plan to translate the FMHT into Cambodian language and validate by comparing its result with those of audiometry.
Detailed description
Primary Objective: To assess sensitivity of the FMHT in Cambodia version (CAM-FMHT) compared with the standard audiometry Secondary Objective: To assess 1. Specificity of the FMHT in Cambodia version (CAM-FMHT) compared with the standard audiometry 2. Likelihood ratio of the FMHT in Cambodia version (CAM-FMHT) compared with the standard audiometry 3. Predictive value of the FMHT in Cambodia version (CAM-FMHT) compared with the standard audiometry
Interventions
The FMHT was developed by American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS). The FMHT is composed of 15 questions. Each answer is scored as 0, 1, 2 or 3 according to the frequency of experience. If they answered 'never', the score was 0. The answer 'occasionally' scored 1, the answer 'half the time' scored 2, and the answer 'almost always' scored 3. Furthermore, it has shown more aspects, more reliability, and more assessments of the hearing impairment of the patients. is a standard hearing questionnaire. So, we plan to translate the FMHT into Cambodian language and validate by comparing its result with those of audiometry.
