Cross-cultural adaptation of the Tinnitus Functional Index for measuring chronic tinnitus in Hong Kong Chinese (Health and Medical Research Fund 2014-15)

The study aims to translate the TFI into Chinese and then validate its use in Chinese Hong Kong patients who are suffering from chronic tinnitus. The psychometric properties including reliability, construct validity and responsiveness of the TFI-CH will be determined. It is hypothesized that the psychometric properties in terms of reliability, construct validity, responsiveness and factorial structure of the TFI-CH would be similar to that of the original TFI.
