听力障碍和社会隔离之间的关系，在一个样本的社区为基础的个人年龄超过65岁。每个受试者在53岁后首次报告听力损失。在所有病例中，听力损失的发病都是隐匿的，病因不明。所有受试者均接受了完整的听力学评估。这包括纯音测试、言语辨别测试和自我评估听力障碍。反应的规模，定量测量的主观和客观的社会隔离的程度。客观和主观社会隔离量表评分与听力学变量之间的相关性均具有统计学意义。听力学测量与主观的相关性比与客观的隔离措施更强。听力测量量表（HMS）评分解释了每个隔离量表评分中方差的最大比例，W-22评分解释了最小比例。
The relationship between hearing impairment and social isolation in a sample of community-based individuals over age 65 yr was determined. Each subject reported first noting a hearing loss after age 53 yr. In all cases the hearing loss was insidious in onset and of unknown etiology. All subjects underwent a complete audiologial evaluation. This included pure-tone testing, speech discrimination testing and self-assessed hearing handicap. Responses were obtained to scales which measure quantitatively the degree of subjective and objective social isolation. Each of the correlations between the Objective and Subjective Social Isolation Scale scores and the audiologic variables was statistically significant. The audiologic measures were more strongly correlated with the subjective than with the objective isolation measures. The Hearing Measurement Scale (HMS) score explained the greatest and the W-22 score the smallest proportion of the variance in each of the isolation scale scores.
