研究概览
简要总结
To assess whether children with glue ear ( and some normal hearing controls) and their families find the Hear Glue Ear application acceptable and easy to use. Whether the hearing screening section on the app is comparable to the hearing test data obtained from formal audiology hearing tests.
详细描述
The Hear Glue Ear application aims to provide up-to-date information for families as well as audiobooks, songs and games for children with hearing loss secondary to glue ear, to be able to aid with their developmental skills (particularly speech, language, auditory processing, auditory memory and listening skills) during the period of time when they have glue ear.
Outcome measures include acceptability of the application by the family (provided by questionnaires to the child and an adult parent/ carer), usability of the app (a member of the research team will observe the child using the app and how much difficulty they have such as how many times the researcher has to help/ intervene) and comparison of the hearing screen on the app with formal audiology hearing test result.
