Methods: The translation followed established guidelines for adapting hearing-related questionnaires. A two-phase design ensured linguistic and cultural adaptation and evaluated test\u2013retest reliability and construct validity. The IHS, consisting of 25 items, was translated and tested in seven participants through cognitive debriefing. In phase two, temporal consistency was assessed in 32 patients. Results: Thirty-two participants (twenty-eight female; mean age 49.8 years) completed the study over 2\u20134 weeks (mean 22 days). Eight used hearing aids, and twenty-four reported tinnitus. The Danish IHS showed good reliability (Cronbach\u2019s alpha = 0.95) and acceptable test\u2013retest reliability, except for the General Loudness factor. While no systematic score changes occurred, significant variability in score changes were noted. Conclusions: The Danish IHS appears to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing hyperacusis. Further research is needed, but the IHS-DK shows potential as an effective clinical and research tool for evaluating hyperacusis impact and treatment outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/audiolres15040083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]],"date-time":"2025-07-07T11:19:27Z","timestamp":1751887167000},"page":"83","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Danish Version of Inventory of Hyperacusis Symptoms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6452-3095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susanne Steen","family":"Nemholt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Communication Disorders in the Capital Region of Denmark, 2900 Hellerup, Denmark"},{"name":"Brain Research\u2013Inter-Disciplinary Guided Excellence, Department of Clinical Research (BRIDGE), Faculty of Health Science, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1371-476X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camilla","family":"Helge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, Department of Nordic Studies and Language Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Polly","family":"Scutt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"},{"name":"Hearing Sciences, Mental Health and Clinical Neurosciences, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David M.","family":"Baguley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"},{"name":"Hearing Sciences, Mental Health and Clinical Neurosciences, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7683-1407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jesper Hvass","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain Research\u2013Inter-Disciplinary Guided Excellence, Department of Clinical Research (BRIDGE), Faculty of Health Science, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Research Unit for ORL\u2013Head & Neck Surgery and Audiology, Odense University Hospital, 5230 Odense, Denmark"},{"name":"Open Patient Data Explorative Network, Institute of Clinical Research, University of Southern Denmark, 5230 Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"513","DOI":"10.1044\/2022_AJA-22-00035","article-title":"Sound Tolerance Conditions (Hyperacusis, Misophonia, Noise Sensitivity, and Phonophobia): Definitions and Clinical Management","volume":"31","author":"Henry","year":"2022","journal-title":"Am.
