Key Points

The research aims to validate two scales measuring listening effort and fatigue in Chinese-speaking adults.
Psychometric testing of Chinese versions of the Effort Assessment Scale and Vanderbilt Fatigue Scale.
Assessment of reliability and validity with adult participants.
Analysis of associations with better-ear PTA and tinnitus.
The C-EAS and C-VFS-A-10 demonstrated good reliability and cultural adaptation.
Significant associations were found between listening effort, fatigue, and better-ear PTA.
Clinical relevance was supported by correlations with tinnitus.

Implication

Validation study assesses listening effort and fatigue in Chinese-speaking adults, indicating clinical relevance.

Abstract

The C-EAS and C-VFS-A-10 are reliable, culturally adapted measures of listening effort and listening-related fatigue for Chinese-speaking adults. Associations with better-ear PTA and tinnitus support clinical relevance.
