Brief Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the sensory processing abilities of adults with acquired hearing loss and to explore the differences in sensory processing between adults with hearing loss and adults with normal hearing. Sensory processing functions of 30 adults with acquired hearing loss will be evaluated using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile. The data from adults with hearing loss will be compared with data from 30 adults with normal hearing who were similar in gender and age.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile scores

  There are 15 questions in each quadrant for 60 questions in total. The responses provided are in a Likert-scale system with "almost always (5 points)", "often", "sometimes", "rarely" and "almost never (1 point)" and the scores of the related items are summed up to provide the score for each quadrant. Norm values have been established for three different age intervals: 11-18, 18-65, and 65 years and over for evaluation and respondents are classified in the end for the four quadrants using the statements "much more than most people," "more than most people," "similar to most people," "less than most people," and "much less than most people". Respectively Sensory Processing Reference Ranges (18-64 yr) * Low registration 15-18, 19-23, 24-35, 36-44, 45-75 * Sensation seeking 15-35, 36-42, 43-56, 57-62, 63-75 * Sensory sensitivity 15-18, 19-25, 26-41, 42-48, 49-75 * Sensation avoiding 15-19, 20-26, 27-41, 42-49, 50-75

Study Arms (2)

hearing loss

According to the audiological test results, individuals with a pure tone average of more than 25 dB in the better ear and with less than 10 dB difference between the air-bone conduction thresholds

Other: Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile Questionnaire

normal hearing

According to the audiological test results, individuals with a pure tone average of 25 dB or less in both ears and with less than 10 dB difference between the air-bone conduction thresholds

Other: Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile Questionnaire

Interventions

Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile Questionnaire OTHER

The Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile Questionnaire (AASP), was developed based on Dunn's model of sensory processing. It is a 60-item self-assessment questionnaire that evaluates behavioral patterns related to sensory processing. The questionnaire consists of six different subsections such as taste/smell processing, movement processing, visual processing, touch processing, auditory processing, and activity level. According to the answers given, individuals are evaluated in 4 quartiles as "low registration," "sensory sensitivity," "sensation avoiding," and "sensation seeking."
