Speech Spatial Qualities -C Advice about answering the questions Please answer the following questions, then go on to the questions about your hearing • The following questions inquire about aspects of your ability and experience hearing and listening in different situations. You answered these questions before, after you had worn the previous hearing aid for a while (or aids, if you have been fitted with two hearing aids). • We would like you to answer the same questions, but comparing your ability and experience now, using the hearing aid/s you are currently wearing, with your ability and experience using the previous aid/s. • For each question, put a mark, such as a cross (x), anywhere on the scale that runs from -5 through 0 to +5, shown against each question . • If you are doing better now, with the current hearing aid/s compared with the previous ones, in the situation described in a particular question, then put the mark somewhere to the right of the 0 point on the scale. • If you are doing worse, then put the mark somewhere to the left of the 0. • If things are no different, put the mark at around the 0 point. • If things are much worse mark the scale at around -5; if things are much better mark it around +5. • We expect that all the questions are relevant to your everyday experience, but if a question describes a situation that does not apply to you, put a cross in the “not applicable” box. Please also write a note next to that question explaining why it does not apply in your case.
