ABSTRACT
The authors suggest a method for screening the probability of sensorineural auditory function impairment based on the patients’ survey. They provide the criteria in the point system to determine the hearing impairment based on the patient’s psychoemotional sensations in routine life situations. The maximum score of the calculation scale is 30 points, the minimum score is less than 7, the variants ≥8, but ≤15 points were regarded as the initial manifestations of sensorineural disorders in patients. The method is proposed to implement in epidemiological studies, as well as in the formation of therapeutic and rehabilitation approach to hearing impairments in the adult population by primary care physicians on an outpatient and polyclinic level.
