Hyperacusis has been defined as a reduced intolerance to sound(s) that are perceived as normal to most of the population or were perceived as normal to the person before their onset of hyperacusis. It has a great impact on the quality of life of patients. The evaluation of hyperacusis is useful to understand its severity and provide a reference for treatment. However, there is no comprehensive, effective, and standardized tool for hyperacusis assessment. As the most used tool for clinical symptom assessment, the scale has the advantages of simplicity, convenience, low cost, and quantifiable ability. In recent years, more and more studies have been carried out to explore the development of scales for hyperacusis. This article reviews the research purpose, source of items, scoring methods, and current usage of the common scale or questionnaire of hyperacusis, to provide a reference for the clinical selection of evaluation tools of hyperacusis. It also provides a basis for further research on hyperacusis assessment tools.
