Abstract: Background: Children with hearing impairment (HI) are at risk for language difficulties, which can persist during childhood. There is a lack of clinical language tests adapted for young preschool children, enabling early identification of language delays. The expressive phonological test PEEPS-SE could enable such testing in these ages. Aims: The present study sought to compare the phonological abilities of children with and without HI at ages 24 and 30 months and to contribute to the development of the test. Methods and Procedures: Outcomes of children with HI (n = 9) were compared to children with normal hearing (n = 21) with regard to the number of different established true consonants, fricatives, and percentage of consonants correct (PCC). Outcomes and Results: The HI group had significantly fewer consonants at 24 months and lower PCC at both ages, displaying no differences regarding fricatives. Conclusions and Implications: The results from this study indicate that language delays occur in children with HI during early preschool years and that PEEPS-SE can identify these children.
