Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The present paper is a methodological study for instrument translation; it provides a protocol and example for adaptation and standardization of the Mainzer Audiometric Test for Children (MATCH) to another language. The prospective adaptation process is divided into six phases: identifying test items and validating picture recognizability among children; ensuring linguistic conformity by comparing the phoneme distribution of the test vocabulary to spontaneous speech reference data; recording the speech material in a sound-treated environment following International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards; equalizing the intelligibility of the recorded items through speech recognition testing in adults; standardizing the test on a cohort of normal-hearing children aged 3-6 years, stratified by age; finally, the diagnostic validity of the adapted test is evaluated by comparing speech recognition thresholds to pure-tone audiometry results in a clinical sample. Additionally, to determine sensitivity, specificity, and optimal cutoff points for detecting hearing loss, ROC analysis is used.
