Description

The Auditory Behavior in Everyday Life (ABEL) Scale is a scale developed to assess, based on parental observation, the everyday auditory skills of children aged 4–14 who use hearing aids or cochlear implants. This 24-item Turkish-adapted scale evaluates three main factors: auditory-oral, auditory awareness, and social/speech skills. The questionnaire is recommended as a reliable and valid tool for monitoring the auditory rehabilitation process.

Measured Properties

Auditory-oral skills, auditory awareness, social and speech skills

Target Population

Children aged 4–14 using hearing aids or cochlear implants, and their parents
