Figure 4
Distribution of the three test outcomes in subjects classified into the three categories of hearing handicap, as measured by the HHIE-S questionnaire: (a) “no handicap” (); (b) “mild-to-moderate handicap” (); (c) “significant handicap” (). For each category of hearing handicap, subjects were divided into three subgroups according to the test results in their better ear, that is, red (left-hand bar), yellow (center bar), and green (right-hand bar). Each of these bars also shows the distribution of scores obtained by those subjects in the other ear: red (black bars), yellow (grey bars), or green (white bars).
