For the LiSN-S, disordered performance: ≤ −2; borderline performance: > −2 and ≤ −1; and normal performance: > −1. And for the TEACh, disordered performance: ≤ 4; borderline performance: > 4 and ≤ 7; and normal performance: > 7. The LIFE-R does not include cut-offs for abnormal performance as it is a non-standardised questionnaire. Div-AA, Divided Auditory Attention; Div-AVA, Divided Auditory-Visual Attention; LIFE-R, Listening Inventory for Education – Revised; LiSN-S, Listening in Spatialised Noise – Sentences; RMHA, Remote Microphone Hearing Aid; SD, Standard Deviation; Sel-VA, Selective Visual Attention; SRT, Speech Reception Threshold; Sus-AA, Sustained Auditory Attention; TEACh, Test of Everyday Attention for Children.
