about the projectGothenburg Profile
The Gothenburg Profile questionnaire is used to evaluate patients’ subjective experiences regarding their hearing problems. The Gothenburg Profile measures experienced hearing disability and handicap. It consists of 20 items divided into two subscales. The first subscale measures experienced disability in hearing speech and sound localization. The second subscale targets the experienced handicap in social settings and the personal reactions to the experienced handicap.
The Gothenburg Profile questionnaire is available in Swedish, English, Dutch, and German.
The Gothenburg Profile questionnaire is a standard test, which means that it should be executed for every patient.
The Gothenburg Profile in four languages is found here.
