Abstract：Objective To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the speech,spatial and subjec-tive of hearing scale(C-SSQ5).Methods A convenient sample of patients(n=145,73 males and 72 females)who visit-ed the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Ear Clinic,Chinese PLA General Hospital,from May 2022 to June 2022 were selected as the subjects.The construct validity and Cronbach's α coefficient of the C-SSQ5 were tested.The Re-ceiver Operating Characteristic(ROC)curve was constructed to determine its diagnostic value in classifying hearing im-pairment.Results The validity of the C-SSQ5 was high(KMO=0.810,P＜0.05),as well as its reliability(Cronbach's α=0.824,Guttman=0.782).The AUC was 0.718(standard error=0.042,95％CI:0.635-0.801,P＜0.05).The optimal cut-off value was 0.351,with a sensitivity of 0.619 and a specificity of 0.732.Conclusion The C-SSQ5 can be used in hear-ing-impaired people with good reliability and validity for preliminary hearing assessment in primary care settings.
