Аннотация
PURPOSE: The authors respond to a letter to the editor (Sabour, 2018) concerning the interpretation of validity in the context of evaluating treatment-related change in tinnitus loudness over time.
METHOD: The authors refer to several landmark methodological publications and an international standard concerning the validity of patient-reported outcome measurement instruments.
RESULTS: The tinnitus loudness rating performed better against our reported acceptability criteria for (face and convergent) validity than did the tinnitus loudness matching test.
CONCLUSION: It is important to distinguish between tests that evaluate the validity of measuring treatment-related change over time and tests that quantify the accuracy of diagnosing tinnitus as a case and non-case.
