The Self-Assessment for Hearing Screening of the Elderly-Revised (SHSE-R) consisted of 20 questions measured on a 5-point scale and developed in terms of characteristics of age-related hearing loss. For reliability, the subjects responded to SHSE-R twice with a three-week interval. They also took various subjective and objective hearing tests and a working memory test and filled out two other questionnaires for validation.Results: SHSE-R showed a high internal consistency and a high reliability when comparing test–retest scores. Its content validity was as high as 0.88– 1. Convergent validity supported SHSE-R and its subcategories while showing either a positive or negative correlation with pure-tone average, word recognition scores, and otoacoustic emission tests. Construct validity was proved by a moderate negative correlation with the tests of speech in noise, speech with fast speed, and working memory. In criterion validity, a strong positive correlation existed between SHSE-R and the other questionnaires, except for a group with severe hearing loss. The factor analysis showed similar results to the original version of SHSE having three factors, although some items were interchanged.Conclusion: We confirmed that SHSE-R was well developed with both excellent internal consistency and test–retest reliability and valuable convergent, construct, and criterion validities, consequently making SHSE-R useful for self-checking hearing loss in the elderly.Keywords: hearing screening, self-assessment, questionnaire, age-related hearing loss, older adultsYou SHan WKim SMaeng SSeo YJDove Medical Pressarticlehearing screeningself-assessmentquestionnaireage-related hearing lossolder adultsGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 75-82 (2020)
