Samenvatting	The Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA) is a 25-item self-report questionnaire that quantifies the functional and emotional effects of hearing loss on daily life, work, and psychosocial well-being. Developed by Newman, Weinstein, Jacobson, and Hug in 1990, the HHIA is the most widely used hearing-specific quality-of-life measure in audiology and otolaryngology. It provides a patient-centered assessment of hearing handicap, distinct from audiometric measures alone, and is standard for baseline assessment, monitoring hearing aid benefit, and outcome evaluation in hearing conservation programs.	The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is a 25-item self-report scale that quantifies the functional, emotional, and catastrophic effects of tinnitus on daily life, work, and psychosocial well-being. Developed by Newman, Jacobson, and Spitzer in 1996, it has become the gold-standard outcome measure for assessing tinnitus-related handicap in clinical practice and research. The THI enables clinicians to track disease burden, monitor therapeutic response, and identify patients at risk for severe psychological distress.
