Patient-related outcome measures are essential to evaluate benefits. Although the IOI-HA is routinely used in France, its translated version from 2002 has never been validated. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the French version of the IOI-HA questionnaire. Design: Controlled, prospective, monocentric study performed between February 2024 and January 2025. The forward\u2013backward technique was used for translation of the questionnaire. Study Sample: 100 patients fitted with hearing aids completed the questionnaire. Thirty-five patients were retested 15 days after first completion. Results: Internal consistency, assessed by Cronbach\u2019s alpha, was 0.863. Mean IOI-HA item scores ranged from 3.3 to 4.57. All seven items had a high degree of consistency with the total score, except for item Q1 which had a moderate score (0.45). Cronbach\u2019s alpha after item deletion confirmed internal consistency. Intra-class correlation coefficients ranged from 0.622 (Q7) to 0.767 (Q5) and were all statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001), revealing high reliability over time. No significant correlation was found between item scores and age, unilateral or bilateral hearing aid use or accompanying symptoms (tinnitus, dizziness). Conclusions: The French translation of the IOI-HA questionnaire, published in 2002, is a valid and reliable questionnaire evaluating hearing aid satisfaction. This validated questionnaire can now be used in daily clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/audiolres15040097","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,7]],"date-time":"2025-08-07T10:58:26Z","timestamp":1754564306000},"page":"97","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["French Adaptation and Validation of the International Outcome Inventory on Hearing Aids (IOI-HA) Questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5938-7236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria-Pia","family":"Tuset","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital, 29 rue Manin, 75019 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Daval","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital, 29 rue Manin, 75019 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Levy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital, 29 rue Manin, 75019 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Ayache","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital, 29 rue Manin, 75019 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5034-4210","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Gargula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Hospital, 29 rue Manin, 75019 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102124","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arr.2023.102124","article-title":"Global, regional, and national prevalence of hearing loss from 1990 to 2019: A trend and health inequality analyses based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019","volume":"92","author":"Jiang","year":"2023","journal-title":"Ageing Res.
