Нарушение слуха является одной из ведущих причин снижения качества жизни и инвалидизации взрослого населения. В странах постсоветского пространства, включая Казахстан, инвалидность по слуху определяется преимущественно на основании медицинских критериев, что может приводить к недооценке социально-психологических последствий даже лёгкой и умеренной тугоухости.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель исследования</title><p>Цель исследования. Оценить качество жизни взрослых людей с нарушением слуха в Республике Казахстан с использованием слухоспецифического инструмента «Опросник оценки слухового дефицита у пожилых людей» (англ. Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly, HHIE) и «Опросник оценки слухового дефицита у взрослых» (англ. Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults, HHIA) и проанализировать связь между аудиометрической степенью снижения слуха и субъективно воспринимаемыми ограничениями, связанными с нарушением слуха.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Проведено поперечное исследование с участием 48 респондентов ≥18 лет с аудиометрически подтверждённым нарушением слуха. Для оценки качества жизни применялся опросник оценки слухового дефицита у пожилых людей/опросник оценки слухового дефицита у взрослых. Использовались методы описательной статистики и корреляционного анализа.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Средний суммарный балл опросник оценки слухового дефицита у пожилых людей/опросник оценки слухового дефицита у взрослых составил 62,4 ± 15,3, что соответствует выраженному уровню субъективных функциональных ограничений. Более 65 % участников имели выраженное снижение качества жизни (≥43 баллов), включая лиц с лёгкой и умеренной тугоухостью. Выявлена статистически значимая корреляция между степенью снижения слуха и суммарным баллом опросник оценки слухового дефицита у пожилых людей/опросник оценки слухового дефицита у взрослых (ρ = 0,74; p &lt; 0,001), а также между возрастом и выраженностью нарушения слуха (ρ = 0,49; p &lt; 0,001).</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Нарушение слуха оказывает значимое негативное влияние на качество жизни взрослых лиц в Казахстане независимо от наличия официального статуса инвалидности. Использование слухоспецифических опросников позволяет выявить скрытое бремя заболевания и должно быть интегрировано в клиническую и медико-социальную практику.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Relevance</title><p>Relevance. Hearing loss is one of the leading causes of reduced quality of life and disability among adults. In post-Soviet countries, including Kazakhstan, hearing disability is primarily determined by medical criteria, which may lead to an underestimation of the social and psychological consequences of even mild or moderate hearing loss.</p></sec><sec><title>Objective</title><p>Objective. To assess the quality of life of adults with hearing loss in the Republic of Kazakhstan using hearing-specific instruments – the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly and the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults – and to analyze the relationship between audiometric hearing loss severity and subjectively perceived hearing-related limitations.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and Methods</title><p>Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 48 respondents aged ≥18 years with audiometrically confirmed hearing loss. QoL was assessed using the Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults and the Elderly. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were applied.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The mean total Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults and the Elderly score of 62.4 ± 15.3 indicated a severe perceived functional limitation. More than 65 % of participants demonstrated a marked reduction in QoL (≥43 points), including individuals with mild and moderate hearing loss. A statistically significant correlation was found between hearing loss severity and the total Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults and the Elderly score (ρ = 0.74; p &lt; 0.001), as well as between age and the degree of hearing handicap (ρ = 0.49; p &lt; 0.001).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Hearing loss has a significant negative impact on the QoL of adults in Kazakhstan, regardless of official disability status. The use of hearing-specific questionnaires allows identification of the hidden burden of the condition and should be integrated into clinical and medico-social practice.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>нарушение слуха</kwd><kwd>качество жизни</kwd><kwd>инвалидность</kwd><kwd>опросник оценки слухового дефицита у пожилых людей (HHIE)</kwd><kwd>опросник оценки слухового дефицита у взрослых (HHIA)</kwd><kwd>взрослое население</kwd><kwd>Казахстан.</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>hearing loss</kwd><kwd>quality of life (QoL)</kwd><kwd>disability</kwd><kwd>Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA)</kwd><kwd>Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE)</kwd><kwd>adults</kwd><kwd>Kazakhstan.</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">World Health Organization.
