Both children and care-givers are given forms with questions about the type and level of hearing loss, if they know the cause and if it matters to them. This is to better understand the level of knowledge in both children and their care-givers about different causes of hearing loss. This will help to develop better clinical tools and routines of informing families about causal investigations in the future.
