听觉功能随年龄的性别差异是有据可查的。然而，很少有人知道交互的感官，心理社会和经济变量对听力损失的调整的影响。使用听力受损者交流概况（CPHI）（德莫雷斯特和埃德曼，1987），检查了老年男女对获得性轻度至中度听力损失的适应情况。相关性分析显示，规模之间的关系是类似的女性和男性。控制的社会人口和听力变量，大部分的CPHI规模的群体反应没有显着差异。六个尺度差异显着，这些结果进行了讨论。与男性相比，女性更重视有效的社会沟通，更有可能使用非语言沟通策略，报告更大的愤怒和压力，并报告更大的问题意识和与听力损失相关的否认。CPHI是一个有用的工具，用于指定参数的感知通信障碍的老年男子和妇女。研究结果强调，需要考虑性别特异性的沟通和个人调整的自我评估，在老年人与年龄相关的听力损失的临床管理。
Gender difference ire auditory function with age is well documented. However, little is known about the influence of interacting sensory, psyche-social, and economic variables on adjustment to hearing loss. Adjustment to aquired, mild-to-moderate hearing loss by advantaged older women and men was examined using the Communication Profile For the Hearing Impaired (CPHI) (Demorest & Erdman, 1987). Correlational analyses revealed relationships between scales to be similar for women and men. Controlling for socio-demographic and hearing variables, group responses for the majority of CPHI scales did not differ significantly. Six scales differed significantly, and those results are discussed. When compared to men, women assigned greater importance to effective social communication, were more likely to use nonverbal communication strategies, reported greater anger and stress, and reported greater problem awareness and less denial associated with hearing loss. The CPHI is a useful tool for specifying parameters of perceived communication handicap for both older men and women. Findings underscore the need to consider gender-specific self-assessment of communication and personal adjustment in clinical management of older adults with age-related hearing loss.
