Özet

Objective; The International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) with seven-item questionnaire is used to evaluate the effectiveness of audiological rehabilitation programme utilizing hearing aids. Factor analysis of the subscales of the IOI-HA has been previously reported for English and Dutch translations, but not for the Turkish Language. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the internal consistency and factorial (construct) validity of the IOI-HA that was translated to Turkish.
