Abstract:

Objectives: The Auditory Behavior in Everyday Life (ABEL) questionnaire is a valid tool that was translated and adapted into Persian language by Oryadi-Zanjani et al. (2015). This study aimed to establish the final Persian version of the ABEL questionnaire (ABEL-P).Methods: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study. The questionnaires were completed by 113 mothers of one-to-six year old children with hearing loss using hearing aids or cochlear implants. The subjects were recruited from the children who were studying in a Rehabilitation Centre for Persian children with hearing loss in Shiraz, Iran. This study had four main aims including (a) specifying internal consistency of the questionnaire in a larger sample size; (b) comparing the 26-item ABEL-P and the 24-item ABEL-P; (c) factor analysis to examine the factor structure of the ABEL-P; and (d) assessing the capability of the tool in order to determine the auditory development of children with HL during a 12-month period.Results: Both the 24-item (α = 0.95) and the 26-item (α = 0.96) ABEL-P had high reliability. There was a good correlation between the items in all the three factors. According to the results of factor analysis, all the items of the ABEL-P questionnaire had relatively high loadings (0.60-0.83) on a single factor. There was a significant difference among the means of the subject’s ABEL scores within a 12-month period (P-value < 0.001).Conclusion: The 23-item ABEL-P questionnaire is a valid and reliable assessment tool that can be used to measure the auditory development in Persian-language children.
