Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the hyperacusis scale and estimate its applicability in the Chinese population.Methods The patients admitted to the Department of Oto-laryngology of Xijing Hospital from June 2017 to December 2017 were surveyed.A total of 300 questionnaires were sent out and 293 valid questionnaires were collected with effective response rate of 97.67％.All participants comple-ted a basic information survey,pure tone audiometry and fill in the Chinese version of the hyperacusis scale.The re-liability and validity of this scale were evaluated.Results Among the 293 respondents,243(82.93％)were compli-cated with tinnitus.A total of 181 cases(61.77％)were subjectively diagnosed with hyperacusis through question-naire survey.According to the scale evaluation,174 cases(59.39％)were diagnosed with hyperacusis,and the Kappa value of conformity test of the two methods was 0.81(P＜0.001).Reliability analysis indicated a Cronbach'sα coefficient of 0.93 for the entire scale.Each dimension had a Cronbach's α coefficient＞0.60.The split-half relia-bility coefficient for the entire scale was 0.86,and for each dimension,it was＞0.60.Exploratory factor analysis of validity suggested that 25 items could be grouped under 4 factors,such as functional part,social part,emotional part and harmonic sensitivity part.These factors had eigenvalues greater than 1,accounting for 59.42％of the total variance.Post-rotation,the 25 items were distributed across the 4 components,with each item having a factor load-ing＞0.40.Confirmatory factor analysis of validity showed model fit parameters as:x2/df=1.98,GFI=0.91,AGFI=0.83,CFI=0.92,TLI=0.89,RMSEA=0.08.Each item had a standardized factor loading＞0.40.Con-clusion The Chinese version of the hyperacusis scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity,making it suitable for use among the Chinese population.
