Evaluation of the Global Score From the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing-Aid Performance and the Development of an Improved Shorter Version: The APHAP9

The APHAP9 is a psychometrically sound measure of the perceived frequency of difficulties in everyday speech communication and represents an improvement over the global 18-item APHAP score. At half the length, the APHAP9 is also much more efficient than its 18-item predecessor.

Abstract

The APHAP9 is a psychometrically sound measure of the perceived frequency of difficulties in everyday speech communication and represents an improvement over the global 18-item APHAP score. At half the length, the APHAP9 is also much more efficient than its 18-item predecessor.
