It has long been suggested that the consequences of adult hearing impairment (HI) include stress, anxiety and depression, yet relatively little formal assessment of mental health status amongst adult Australians who have acquired HI has been reported. This questionnaire- based study investigated the self-reported hearing handicap and mental health characteristics of a sample of 375 Australian adults with HI who were members of Better Hearing Australia (BHA) in six Australian states/territories. Participants completed two mental health questionnaires; the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-10 (K-10; Kessler, Andrews, Colpe, and Hiripi, 2002) and the Depression- Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS; Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995) as well as the short version of the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults Screening Version (HHIA-S; Newman, Weinstein, Jacobson, and Hug, 1990). No difference was found in the prevalence of psychological distress amongst participants compared to that of the Australian adult population. It was noted, however, that increased severity of self-reported hearing handicap was associated with higher levels of self-perceived psychological distress. In turn, high or very high levels of psychological distress measured on the K-10 were correlated with depressive states more than with stress or anxiety ratings on the DASS. The results highlighted the need to incorporate a combination of questionnaire-based measures in evaluating self-reported mental health and hearing handicap.

Self-reported hearing handicap and mental health in Australia: Some preliminary findings

澳大利亚自我报告的听力障碍与心理健康：一些初步发现

Hearing impairment (HI) is one of the most prevalent health conditions in older people, affecting the quality of life of both the person with HI and his or her significant others. In order to gain a more in-depth understanding of this issue from the perspective of those affected by HI, a qualitative study involving semistructured surveys was conducted. Participants included 117 older people with HI and 27 spouses of the people with HI. The aims were (a) to investigate the impact of HI experienced by older people with HI and their significant others; and (b) to determine how these couples adapt to their hearing difficulties. Results revealed a similar spectrum of effects for both the people with HI and their spouses. People with HI and their spouses were both concerned about the psychosocial aspects of HI, with social isolation and emotional effects reported by participants. The positive aspects of hearing loss and use of coping strategies were also discussed by participants, with both parties indicating that they had developed positive coping mechanisms.

This research aimed to adapt the Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability and Handicap (AIADH) into Cantonese. A total of six Cantonese-English bilingual speakers participated in the adaptation of the AIADH. One-hundred and thirtythree normal-hearing and hearing-impaired Chinesespeaking participants from Hong Kong completed the Cantonese adaptation of the questionnaire (CAIADH). Good internal consistency and reliability of the questionnaire was indicated by a high Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Statistical analysis showed that the newly adapted questionnaire could differentiate between normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subjects. Percentiles were computed from the data obtained from normal-hearing subjects (n = 35) to obtain normal scores for the C-AIADH. The findings and possible clinical uses are discussed.

Adaptation of the Amsterdam inventory for auditory disability and handicap into Cantonese

The overrepresentation of Indigenous Australians in the criminal justice system has been thoroughly documented over a number of decades. However, studies tend to adopt homogenising discourses that fail to acknowledge or deeply examine the diversity of Indigenous Australian experiences of crime, including across geographic and cultural contexts. This has prompted calls for a more thorough investigation of how experiences of crime differ across Australia’s Indigenous communities, including between remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This paper forms part of a larger study, examining crime and justice in the Torres Strait Region, situated off the far northern tip of the State of Queensland. Here, we examine and compare reported crime trends in the Torres Straits with those in Queensland’s remote Aboriginal communities and Queensland State on the whole. We then draw upon existing anthropological, historical and other literature to explore possible explanations for differences in these crime rates. We find that crime rates are generally lower in the Torres Strait Region and that the different historical experiences of colonisation and policing may provide a partial explanation for this, particularly through the lens of social disorganisation theory.
