The aim of the study was to translate and validate the LittlEARS Auditory Questionnaire (LEAQ) in Kannada.
The translation procedure followed a traditional translation, back translation, and content validity process before administering. The finalized version was administered on 87 children with 67 normal hearing children and 20 hearing-impaired children.
The tool had good internal consistency, good reliability, and a norm curve could be established. The Cronbach alpha value for item correlation ranged from 0.26 to 0.79. A significant difference was found between normal hearing individuals and hearing impaired.
The LEAQ tool has been translated and validated for the Kannada speaking population and can be used as a screening tool for children up to two years of age and as a subjective outcome measuring tool for hearing aid and Cochlear Implant user.
本研究旨在将 LittlEARS 听觉问卷（LEAQ）翻译成 Kannada 语并对其进行验证。
翻译过程遵循传统的翻译、回译和内容效度程序，然后进行施测。最终版本在 87 名儿童中进行了测试，其中包括 67 名正常听力儿童和 20 名听力障碍儿童。
该工具具有良好的内部一致性、可靠性，并且可以建立标准曲线。项目相关性的克朗巴赫 α 值范围为 0.26 至 0.79。正常听力个体和听力障碍个体之间存在显著差异。
已为讲 Kannada 语的人群翻译和验证了 LEAQ 工具，可将其用作 2 岁以下儿童的筛查工具，以及作为助听器和人工耳蜗使用者的主观结果测量工具。
