“…The LEAQ could potentially cover this need. The idea of monitoring the early development of communicative and auditory development in children with the LEAQ was investigated by Rauham€ aki et al (2014). They compared an abridged version of the Finnish CDI to the LEAQ and concluded that these instruments covered the most important milestones in preverbal development.…”

“…The study recommended that the LEAQ could be implemented in the Child Health Care Centres (CHCs) in Finland for all DHH children. The authors suggested that it could detect hearing problems in children between the Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) and their national hearing screening at 4 years of age (Rauham€ aki et al 2014).…”

Objective: To externally validate the Swedish version of the LittlEARS V R Auditory Questionnaire (LEAQ) in children with normal hearing followed longitudinally, and to examine to what extent the LEAQ correlates to other measures of auditory and language development. Design: The Swedish version of the LEAQ was completed every other month over a 2-year period and correlated with the Parents' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children (PEACH) and McArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) to examine overlapping areas of development. Normative curve was derived through linear mixed models and the effect of time investigated with repeated measures ANOVA. Study sample: Parents of 25 typically developing children with normal hearing (13 girls, 12 boys). Results: The norm curve of the Swedish LEAQ showed a similar equation as the original German version and the effect of time was significant. Correlations between LEAQ and CDI were moderate to high, and between LEAQ and PEACH weak or non-existing. Conclusion: The Swedish version of the LEAQ is a reliable tool in accordance with the original version. However, results indicate that this questionnaire to a large extent measures language skill rather than audition specifically.

“…The influencing factors remain to be verified. Previous subjective questionnaires such as the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ), the Hearing Implant Sound Quality Index (HISQUI19), or the LittlEARS Auditory questionnaire (LEAQ ® ) do evaluate the subjective quality of hearing but do not actually reflect the users’ satisfaction, which might in turn possibly increase the motivation to wear the device for longer [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Recently, Obrycka et al, 2022, reported on Audio Processor Satisfaction pre and post AO upgrade and found no significant difference between the device generations [ 25 ].…”

(1) Objectives: For full benefit in children implanted with a cochlear implant (CI), wearing the device all waking hours is necessary. This study focuses on the relationship between daily use and audiological outcomes, with the hypothesis that frequent daily device use coincides with high device satisfaction resulting in better functional gain (FG). Confounding factors such as implantation age, device experience and type of device were considered. (2) Results: Thirty-eight CI children (65 ears) were investigated. In total, 76.92% of the children were using their device for >12 h per day (h/d), 18.46% for 9–12 h/d, the remaining for 6–9 h/d and one subject reported 3 h/d. The revision rate up to the 90-month follow-up (F/U) was 4.6%. The mean FG was 59.00 ± 7.67 dB. The Audio Processor Satisfaction Questionnaire (APSQ) separated for single unit (SU) versus behind the ear (BTE) devices showed significantly better results for the latter in terms of wearing comfort (WC) (p = 0.00062). A correlation between device use and FG was found with a device experience of <2 years (n = 29; r2 = 0.398), whereas no correlation was seen with ≥2 years of device experience (n = 36; r2 = 0.0038). (3) Conclusion: This study found significant relationships between daily device use and FG, wearing comfort and long-term safety (90 months).
