The translated questionnaire was then reconciled and harmonized for cultural and content by the researchers and two expert panels before being piloted among 10 hearing impaired patients.At the present stage, psychometric evaluations have been conducted among 30 adults hearing impaired participants using Cronbach’s α (for internal reliability) and Pearson’s correlation for (inter -item correlation). All participants were recruited from IIUM Hearing and Speech Clinic. Results: Cronbach’s α value was 0.96 for combined items.
