Parents believe that their children adapt nicely to ABI and are aware of environmental sounds. This study reveals the auditory, aural, and social skills of children using ABI through the regards of their parents. This study showed that the ABEL questionnaire, which was used in previous studies to express parental views of children with hearing aids and cochlear implants, can also be used for parents of children using ABI.
