About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to understand how children with hearing loss, their parents, and health care providers experience digital health questionnaires that are completed before audiology follow-up appointments. The study focuses on children and adolescents (aged 7-18 years old) with hearing loss, and their parents, visiting the Audiology outpatient clinic of the Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How do parents, children, and clinicians experience digital questionnaires like the HEAR-QL before an audiology visit? * Do these digital tools help improve communication and preparation for the appointment?
Participants will:
* Be invited to complete a short feedback questionnaire about their experience with digital tools * Share their views on how helpful or relevant the questionnaires were * Health care providers will also give feedback on how they use and interpret the responses in clinical care
