The Vanderbilt Fatigue Scales (VFS) are a collection of listening-related fatigue scales developed to identify significant listening-related fatigue in individuals with hearing loss and other communic
...ation-based difficulties. You can find more information about the development of the scales, their use in clinical, educational, and research endeavors, and how to partner with us to translate the scales into another language on the pages of this site. The Vanderbilt Fatigue Scales were created in collaboration with the following research laboratories at Vanderbilt University Medical Center: Listening and Learning Lab (PI: Dr. Fred Bess, Co PI: Dr. Stephen Camarata, Research Coordinator: Dr. Hilary Davis)Hearing and Communication Lab (PI: Dr. Ben Hornsby)Please direct all inquires and questions about the VFS to Dr. Ben Hornsby at ben.hornsby@vumc.org.
