| Abstract |
Although hearing health care clinicians provide training on hearing aid handling and management as part of the rehabilitation program, clinical studies suggest that the level of management skill demonstrated by hearing aid owners is low. In the absence of a comprehensive clinical survey to identify these shortfalls in clinical training, the objective of this study was to develop and report the psychometric properties of the Hearing Aid Skills and Knowledge Inventory (HASKI: a self-administered version and a clinician-administered version). The HASKI evaluates the knowledge and skills required for hearing aid management. A secondary aim was to report the prevalence of hearing aid management difficulties in an Australian population. The development of the HASKI and the investigation of its psychometric properties in a prospective convenience cohort of 518 adult hearing aid owners, ranging in age from 18 to 97 years (M = 71 years, SD = 14), 60% male, 38% female, and 2% undisclosed, recruited from 7 hearing clinics across Australia, were used. The HASKI (both the self-administered and clinician administered) demonstrated high internal consistency, interdimensional relationships, construct validity, test-retest reliability, interobserver reliability, and criterion validity. A range of aptitudes were observed from low to full competency, with 99% of participants indicating difficulty with at least 1 item on the survey. The Hearing Aid Skills and Knowledge Inventories are valid and reliable measures of hearing aid handling and management skills with good potential for use in clinical settings. Hearing aid management is an area of difficulty for the majority of hearing aid owners, indicating the need for clinicians to improve the efficacy of hearing aid management training delivered. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 October 2019.
All research outputs
#13,242,166
of 23,342,664 outputs
Outputs from American Journal of Audiology
#445
of 832 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#162,082
of 338,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age from American Journal of Audiology
#6
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,342,664 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 832 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.4. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 338,278 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
