Validation of the German language version of the Chronic Ear Survey and its psychometric comparison with an established German measurement instrument

CONCLUSION: The German version of the CES shows satisfactory psychometric characteristics, so that its use can be recommended. The CES focuses on the influence of ear symptoms on HRQoL, whereas the COMOT-15 also includes functional and psychological aspects. Due to only minor response shift effects, the CES is particularly suitable for studies with multiple repeat measurements.PMID:37792097 | DOI:10.1007/s00106-023-01335-5
