Studies were excluded if a pharmacological treatment was provided, if misophonia was not the primary treatment target, or if the assessment of misophonia severity was not a treatment outcome.Results: Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Six studies had paediatric participants and nine had adult participants. Three studies included the identification of audiological comorbidities including hearing ability, hyperacusis, and/or tinnitus in their assessment process. Nine of the studies included assessment for psychological comorbidities. For the different psychological treatment approaches, misophonia severity scores decreased from baseline from 19% to 83%.Conclusions: There is a need for misophonia research to identify audiological comorbidities and to provide evidence-based guidance for addressing them within treatment. Symptoms often appear during childhood and individuals with misophonia would benefit from timely assessment and interdisciplinary coordination to address broader patient impacts in the treatment process.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143515615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The slope of the psychometric function was significantly affected by only the number of scoring units. The mean psychometric function based on one of the scoring methods revealed a speech reception threshold (<math><mrow><msub><mrow><mtext>SRT</mtext></mrow><mrow><mn>50</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></math>) of -4.8 dB and a slope of 11.7%/dB.Conclusions: The psychometric functions of the sentences are modifiable depending on the scoring method applied.

Supporting clients' awareness and understanding can be achieved through improved appointment preparation, such as by encouraging client self-reflection on their listening needs and concerns and providing information about appointment expectations. Audiology clinics should consider all aspects of their service provision and how these relate to communication during appointments. An intervention approach addressing these reported barriers and facilitators could support clients to successfully communicate about their listening needs and concerns with their audiologist.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143482995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Psychometric slopes were 17.9%/dB for Asante-Twi and 19.4%/dB for Ghanaian English. No significant differences were found in SRTs across list numbers or orders for the Asante-Twi version, indicating list equivalence and no learning effect. However, a significant learning effect in the Ghanaian English version necessitated different normative values based on participants' test exposure.Conclusions: The GDTT demonstrates consistency with other digit triplet tests while addressing specific linguistic and cultural factors. The test can improve access to hearing screening in resource-limited settings in Ghana. Further research should explore the test's applicability to a broader demographic, including children.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143483016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
