Keywords: Cochlear implants, Common Object Token test, forward/backward translation, Marathi, pediatric assessment, speech perception, test adaptation It is recommended as a standard, validated tool for assessing the speech perception of pediatric Marathi-speaking CI recipients. The finalized Marathi version was easily administered to pediatric CI recipients. Conclusions: The COT test was translated, adapted, and validated for Marathi by administering it to children with NH. Good internal reliability and consistency were observed in the group with NH for both test levels. A strong correlation between the total score and each subtest score for both levels 1 and 2 were found in both groups. ![]() The subtests of each level of the finalized Marathi version were shown to follow this arrangement, which could be observed from the test scores in both the children with NH and the children with CIs. Results: The original English-language COT test was designed with two levels of subtests arranged in an order of increasing difficulty. Sixteen recipients of CIs manufactured by MED-EL (Innsbruck, Austria) were tested with the finalized Marathi version (mean age: 7.5 years range: 3.5–12.5 years). The finalized version was administered to 100 children with NH (mean age: 5.6 years range: 2.7–9 years). The Marathi version was assessed, adapted, and finalized by healthcare professionals and teachers who are native Marathi speakers and competent speakers of the English language. Materials and Methods: The forward/backward translation method was used to translate the original English-language test into Marathi. Its applicability to pediatric Marathi-speaking cochlear implant (CI) recipients was demonstrated. The finalized Marathi version was tested on children with normal hearing (NH). The same procedure was used to adapt the original English-language test to the Marathi language of West India. Aims: The translation, adaptation, and validation of the COT test for the Sinhalese language of Sri Lanka served as a model for the study presented here. Context: The Common Object Token (COT) test is used in clinical settings to assess the complex closed-set speech perception skills in children with hearing impairment.
