LittlEARS

This auditory questionnaire is designed to assess auditory development in children with typical hearing and in children with hearing loss who use hearing technology. It covers auditory development in the first 2 years after hearing technology fitting (up to 2 years of hearing age) or in hearing children up to 2 years of age. The questionnaire includes age-dependent questions with increasing complexity of the auditory responses.

The SOAR: Auditory Pop-Up is designed to match resources and intervention techniques to the LittlEARS auditory questionnaire.
