Clinical Tools for Hearing Disorders

International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids

The IOI-HA is designed for both research and clinical evaluations of the outcomes of hearing aid fitting.  The IOI-HA is a seven-item questionnaire designed to be generally applicable when evaluating the effectiveness of hearing aid provision. The IOI-HA has been translated into over twenty languages, including Chinese. Ms Pumpkin I-P Ip, supervised by Professor Lena Wong in the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, developed norms for the Traditional Chinese version of the IOI-HA used in Hong Kong.

Visit the IOI-HA website https://icra-audiology.org/Repository/self-report-repository/Survey for general information about the test and to download copies of the Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions of the questionnaire.
