Modern (Rasch) and traditional psychometric analysis techniques (internal consistency and construct validity) were used to assess the psychometric properties of the My Hearing PREM.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Factor analysis of the initial 27 items produced 3 subscales: Emotional Burden, Support and Communication, after 4 items were removed due to poor fit. Rasch analysis was carried out on each of these subscales and a further 7 items with poor fit to the Rasch model were removed. This resulted in a long\u2010form 16\u2010item (My Hearing PREM\u201016) demonstrating good internal reliability (Cronbach's \u03b1\u2009=\u20090.91). Each subscale showed good internal reliability (0.91, 0.85 and 0.71). A short\u2010form (My Hearing PREM\u20109) version was developed for use in clinical practice (\u03b1\u2009=\u20090.79). Both forms of the PREM demonstrated medium to strong significant correlations with the validated measures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both the My Hearing PREM\u201016 and My Hearing PREM\u20109 are reliable measures with good construct validity. They provide a way for healthcare professionals to understand how hearing loss is affecting an individual's emotional well\u2010being, social interactions and communication.
