Prevalence in the population is denoted behind every SDQ scale. In addition, the prevalence in the normal hearing population is provided for the bands slightly raised, high, and very high. Elevated prevalences are highlighted in blue. In case of prosocial behavior, the three bands should be interpreted as slightly lowered, low, and very low, respectively
