: To externally validate the Swedish version of the LittlEARS 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. : 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. : Parents of 25 typically developing children with normal hearing (13 girls, 12 boys). : 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. : 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.
：对正常听力的儿童进行纵向随访，验证瑞典版 LittlEARS 听觉问卷（LEAQ）的外部效度，并研究 LEAQ 与其他听觉和语言发育评估方法的相关性。：在 2 年的时间里，每隔一个月完成瑞典版 LEAQ 的测试，并与父母对儿童听觉/口语表现的评估（PEACH）和麦克阿瑟 - 巴西特交际发展量表（CDI）进行相关性分析，以研究发育的重叠领域。通过线性混合模型得出标准曲线，并使用重复测量方差分析研究时间的影响。：25 名正常听力的典型发育儿童的父母（13 名女孩，12 名男孩）。：瑞典 LEAQ 的标准曲线与原始德语版本的方程相似，时间的影响具有统计学意义。LEAQ 与 CDI 之间的相关性为中等到高度，与 PEACH 的相关性较弱或不存在。：瑞典版的 LEAQ 与原始版本一样可靠。然而，结果表明，该问卷在很大程度上测量的是语言技能，而不是特定的听力。
