It covers auditory development in the first 2 years after a CI or HA 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 number of "YES" responses is compared to an age-normed chart and the child is determined to be in the critical (concern) range or within normal limits. It will be administered by the Research Coordinator at each study site or obtained from clinical chart review. Age range: 0-24 months. Language: English or Spanish Scores to report: Critical vs. within normal limits (WNLs).

It comprises. 8 questions on a 7-point Likert scale. Scoring: maximum of 56 points, minimum of 8. Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy. It will be administered by the Research Coordinator. Age range: 0-18 years Language: English or Spanish Scores to report: Total score.
