Adult Scales and User Guide

The Vanderbilt Fatigue Scale-Adult (VFS-A) is designed to assess listening-related fatigue in adults 18 years and older. There are two versions of the scales: 1) a 40-item scale typically used for research purposes and 2) a 10-item scale appropriate for clinical or research use. The scales are freely available for clinical and research use and can be downloaded below. For more information about administration and scoring, please download and review the Quick Guide.
