your Hearing wellbeing

Welcome. Living with a hearing condition can involve impacts related to our wellbeing that often go unexplored. This questionnaire is designed to identify some of the wellbeing-related impacts that can arise from living with a hearing condition. It is hoped that your answers to these questions will help you understand which areas of wellbeing are impacting you the most. Please select the rating to each question that most applies to you.

Look over the scores for each question. If you have scored a 3 or a 4 for a particular question you are not alone; these impacts can be quite common when living with a hearing condition. You may, however, benefit from speaking with another person about those impacts. You are the best person to determine whether you require any additional resources or support and Soundfair is available to explore this with you.
