In Brief:
The Spatial Hearing Questionnaire is a self-report measure of spatial hearing abilities of persons with hearing loss, hearing aids, or cochlear implants. It uses eight subscales representing questions pertaining to the perception of male, female, and children's voices, music, source localization, understanding speech in quiet, and understanding speech in noise. It was administered to 142 subjects using one or two cochlear implants. Speech perception and localization abilities were measured, and the Speech, Spatial and Other Qualities questionnaire was completed to evaluate validity of the new questionnaire. Psychometric tests were done to test the reliability and factor structure of the questionnaire.
