A scoping review of studies evaluating those with listening difficulties but no hearing loss.
What is it about?
This review article explored test measure outcomes comparing younger adults in the military or veteran population who reported hearing difficulties despite no measured hearing loss to control subjects (no hearing loss or reported hearing difficulties)
Why is it important?
Proposed test batteries for individuals in the military / veteran populations with self-reported hearing difficulties have focused primarily on incorporating audiological test measures. This study evaluated the outcomes of literature examining differences in these audiological test measures as well as in non-audiological test measures. The findings indicate self-report questionnaires are the only consistent, repeatable measures which show differences among people with self-reported hearing difficulties without measured hearing loss and control subjects.
