Meaningful Outcome Measures in Adult Hearing Health Care

目前成人听力保健缺乏标准的结果衡量标准，与评估听力损失的工具和指标保持一致，同时以有意义的方式与个人对听力损失的感知及其对生活质量的影响相关联。美国国家科学院、工程院和医学会的一个特设委员会将审查成人听力保健干预措施结果研究中的科学状况，重点是对个人和临床医生有意义的措施。委员会将确定一套现有的核心标准成果衡量标准，界定应衡量的沟通以外的核心成果领域，并制定一个框架和一套建议，以指导制定适用于不同环境的标准化和有意义的衡量标准。

The current landscape of adult hearing health care lacks standard outcome measures that align with the tools and metrics to assess hearing loss while correlating in meaningful ways with the individual’s perception of their loss and the impact on their quality of life. An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will examine the state of the science in outcomes research for interventions in adult hearing health care, with an emphasis on measures that are meaningful to the individual and the clinician. The committee will determine a core set of existing standard outcome measures, define the core outcome domains beyond communication that should be measured, and develop a framework and a set of recommendations to guide the development of standardized and meaningful measures that are fit for use in different settings.
