  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:title>Introduction</jats:title><jats:p>To date, there is no quality-of-life questionnaire for people with hearing loss based on a multidisciplinary framework. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive assessment tool that addresses quality of life in people with hearing loss who use a cochlear implant based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>In a first step, the Quality of Life in People with Hearing Loss Questionnaire (HL-QoL) was developed and tested for face validity. In a second step, the HL-QoL was evaluated and validated. In a third step, the HL-QoL was finalized based on the outcomes of the evaluation and validation.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Eighty-four study participants fully completed the HL-QoL. The result of the test-retest reliability analysis was high and highly significant (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 63; <jats:italic>r</jats:italic> = 0.914; <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). The mean total HL-QoL score (100.7 ± SD 24.58) suggests an overall high level of quality-of-life in this sample of people with hearing loss using a cochlear implant. The final version of the HL-QoL contains 21 items.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>The HL-QoL has shown to be a valid and reliable tool to assess quality of life in people with hearing loss who use a cochlear implant. In addition to the total score, it is possible to calculate subscales based on the ICF components <jats:italic>Body Functions</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Activities and Participation</jats:italic>.</jats:p></jats:sec>
