Participants

The Age-Related Hearing Impairment (ARHI) Questionnaire has been successfully used with an age range of 55–65 years old for unrelated samples, and 55–75 years old for family samples. The Speech and Hearing Working Group recommends that it could also be used for individuals over 75 years old and as young as 18 years old.

Selection Rationale

The Age-Related Hearing Impairment (ARHI) Questionnaire was chosen because it has been used in a large-scale multicenter study and provides excellent possibilities for data comparisons. Additionally, it contains questions on multiple topics such as family history and exposures to noise and toxic substances in a single questionnaire.
