Abstract | Objectives: To evaluate the acceptability and usability of the Hear Glue Ear mobile application to guide families and support speech and language development in children with otitis media with effusion (OME). To assess the validity of the app's game-based hearing test to estimate changes in hearing levels between audiology appointments. Method: This evaluation examined 60 children aged 2-8 with and without OME, attending Cambridge Community Audiology clinics. Children's performance in the app's hearing test was compared to their pure tone average (PTA) obtained in clinic. Children and caregivers completed questionnaires after their first interaction with the app, and after one week of using it at home. 18 clinicians completed anonymous questionnaires after trialling the app. Results: Results from the app's hearing test show a significant correlation with clinic PTA values ( Conclusions: Hear Glue Ear is acceptable to children, caregivers and clinicians as part of OME management. The app's hearing test provides a valid estimate of fluctuating hearing levels. Hear Glue Ear is a free, accessible and family-centred intervention to provide trusted information and support development, as NICE guidance recommends. |
