Abstract

To strengthen the index system for evaluating the sustainable design of hearing aid products and minimize the subjective factors in index weighting, the work aims to propose a method based on entropy weight and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Through an extensive literature review, an all-round and quantifiable sustainable design evaluation index system was established, covering the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Different from the existing methods by which the initial evaluation matrix was obtained through subjective evaluation, the initial judgment matrix was obtained through quantitative calculation. Then, index weights were determined by means of the entropy weight method, and the TOPSIS method was utilized to prioritize the schemes. The analysis revealed that the third set of schemes was the optimal one. This evaluation model can be applied to assess the sustainability of hearing aid product schemes, effectively reducing the subjective influences in the decision-making process, and offering a more scientific evaluation of design schemes with a significant degree of adaptability.
