Validation of the second version of the LittlEARS ® Early Speech Production Questionnaire (LEESPQ) in German-speaking children with normal hearing

Introduction The introduction of neonatal hearing screening and the increasingly early age at which children can receive a cochlear implant has intensified the need for a validated questionnaire to assess the speech production of children aged 0‒18. Such a questionnaire has been created, the LittlEARS® Early Speech Production Questionnaire (LEESPQ). This study aimed to validate a second, revised edition of the LEESPQ.
