(1995). The abbreviated profile of hearing aid = benefit. Ear Hear. 1995 Apr;16(2):176-86] on children ( > 12 years) with = autism. It was slightly modified in content, to make it more suitable = for our purposes, though the number of questions and domains was kept = unchanged. It was administered to both the children and parents - the = latter to report on their impressions of their child's difficulties - = with very good concordance between parent and child ratings. In the absence of any more specific instruments, I'd recommend that you = have a look at it. It's relatively quick to administer and one of its 4 = domains deals with 'aversiveness', which would include hypersensitivity = to sounds; the other 3 domains are also informative - 'ease of = communication', 'background noise', and 'reverberation'. Hope this helps.
