Research for families of children with hearing loss

Published by under Family Advocate

Researchers at Utah State University are recruiting families of children recently diagnosed with hearing loss for a study that may help them gain confidence in managing hearing aid use and incorporate hearing aid care habits into their daily lives. They are recruiting parents of children birth to 42 months of age that have traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids. The study is exploring the benefits of a six-week eHealth intervention that provides parents with supportive accountability. Contact Dr. Karen Muñoz  for more information.
