The HQ used in this study is a non-validated English language adaptation of the Geräuschüberempfindlichkeit (GÜF), a German self-report measure for hypersensitivity to sound (14). It is composed of 15-items, evaluating three dimensions or subscales: cognitive behavior in relation to hyperacusis; somatic behavior or reaction linked to specific situation; and finally emotional reactions (21). Using a four-point Likert-type scale, respondents answer “no” (0 points), “yes, a little” (1 point), “yes, quite a lot (2 points), and “yes, a lot” (3 points) for each item. The total possible score range is 0 to 45, with higher scores indicating higher sound hypersensitivity. The complete questionnaire is displayed in Figure ​Figure11.
