Single center, cross sectional observational research design to collect normative data on the acquisition of listening skills in normally-hearing children aged 0-6 years of age.

The primary objective is the assessment of listening skill acquisition in normally-hearing children aged between 0 and 6 years with the Functional Listening Index - Paediatric (FLI-P). The FLI-P has been developed to address a substantial gap in the current tools available to measure the development of auditory skills in children. The FLI-P provides a measure of listening skills acquisition in children from birth to six years of age (0 - 72 months). The FLI-P will be administered by an investigator who has received appropriate training in its use or completed by parents/caregivers themselves. The FLI-P assessment will be conducted using an application running on a Personal Computer, tablet or online device. There are no specific medical or surgical procedures involved in this clinical investigation and the FLI-P is a non-interventional application.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Children aged between 0 and 6 years of age.
• Pass on the Newborn Hearing Screen Status conducted during the New South Wales Statewide Infant Screening - Hearing (SWISH) Program.
• No current parental or professional concern regarding hearing status.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pre-existing diagnosis of additional needs.
• Unrealistic expectations on the part of the subject, regarding the possible benefits, risks, and limitations of the study.
• Unwillingness or inability of the subject to comply with all investigational requirements.

Up to 700 normally-hearing children aged between 0 to 6 years of age.
