The Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) scale reliably measures outcomes for children with cochlear implants in daily life. This study confirms its inter-user reliability, making it a trustworthy tool for assessing pediatric cochlear implant success.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • The Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) is a subjective scale for assessing pediatric cochlear implant outcomes.
  • It is valued for its ease of use and understanding by non-specialists and parents.
  • The reliability of subjective measures requires validation through inter-user assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the inter-user reliability of the Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) scale.
  • To validate CAP as a dependable outcome measure for pediatric cochlear implantation.
  • To assess the comparability of CAP ratings between different professionals.

Main Methods:

  • An inter-user reliability analysis was conducted.
  • Ratings were collected from 23 children undergoing cochlear implantation follow-up.

  • Scores from local teachers of the deaf were compared with those from implant center teachers of the deaf.

    • Main Results:

    • A very high inter-user reliability was found between different raters.
    • The correlation coefficient for inter-user ratings was 0.97.
    • This indicates strong agreement in CAP scale assessments.

    Conclusions:

    • The Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) scale demonstrates excellent inter-user reliability.
    • CAP is a reliable and valid outcome measure for pediatric cochlear implant programs.
    • Its ease of use and proven reliability support its widespread application.
