It was determined that the CFA model provided an excellent fit. The CA value of the instrument was found to be 0.908 and a high level of reliability was obtained. The cut-off score was 14 and this value was used to accurately classify hyperacusis.Conclusion: The HQ-R provides a measurement tool that can more precisely and accurately assess hyperacusis in individuals with tinnitus. The improvements will be an important resource for clinicians and researchers working with tinnitus patients.","PeriodicalId":6880,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oto-Laryngologica","volume":" ","pages":"499-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143802216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Linear regression revealed a modest negative correlation between age and AC improvement (R2 = 0.18, p = 0.006). Despite smaller gains in older patients, both age groups demonstrated substantial improvements AC thresholds and ABG, with minimal changes in BC thresholds. No significant differences were found between younger and older groups in changes in BC, AC, or ABG closure (all p > 0.05).Conclusion: Stapes surgery significantly improves hearing outcomes across all ages, especially in AC thresholds and ABG closure.
