A Hebrew adaptation of the tinnitus handicap inventory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To establish a Hebrew version of the English THI. Design: The English THI (THI-E) was translated into Hebrew by two bilingual investigators, independently. A third investigator then constructed the final Hebrew THI version (THI-H) from the two translations. This version was administered to fifty consecutive patients at the tinnitus clinic. Participants also assessed tinnitus severity and loudness, and completed the Hebrew versions of the Beck's depression inventory and the state anxiety inventory. Study sample: The participants were fifty consecutive patients (older than 18 years of age, with a tinnitus lasting over three months) who were referred to a tinnitus clinic (none of them declared compensation seeking). Results: A very good internal consistency was found (α = 0.93), with significant correlation between the subscales of the THI-H and the Beck depression inventory score and the state anxiety inventory score. Conclusions: A valid and reliable THI-H questionnaire was constructed.SumarioObjetivo: Establecer una versión en Hebreo del THI en Inglés. Diseño: El THI en Inglés (THI-E) fue traducido al Hebreo por dos investigadores bilingües de manera independiente. Un tercer investigador elaboró después la versión final del THI en Hebreo (THI-H) a partir de las dos traducciones. Esta versión se administró a cincuenta pacientes consecutivos en la clínica de acufeno. Los participantes también evaluaron la severidad del acufeno y su intensidad subjetiva y completaron las versiones en Hebreo del Inventario de Depresión de Beck y el Inventario del Estado de Ansiedad. Muestra de Estudio: Los participantes fueron cincuenta pacientes consecutivos (mayores de 18 años con acufeno de duración mayor a 3 meses) que fueron referidos a la clínica de acufeno (ninguno de ellos declaró búsqueda de compensación). Resultados: Se encontró una muy buena consistencia interna (α = 0.93), con correlación significativa entre las subescalas del THI-H y las puntuaciones del Inventario de Depresión de Beck y del Inventario de Estado de Ansiedad. Conclusiones: Se elaboró un Cuestionario de THI-H válido y confiable.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
