Functioning Listening Index (FLI)
In this project, we are validating a new tool, the Functioning Listening Index (FLI), that will be used to measure listening skills in children who have normal hearing or who have hearing loss.
The FLI can be used with children from birth until 6 years of age and it will be an important screening and diagnostic tool.
Researchers are recruiting parents of 55 - 72 month old infants to participate in this online study. Please register or contact Ruth directly to take part.
