Refinement and Validation of a New Patient‐Reported Experience Measure for Hearing Loss (My Hearing PREM)

We developed the project in collaboration with members of the public who have lived experience of hearing loss, recruited through Aston University and volunteer networks connected to audiology services. Additionally, we engaged with individuals more likely to be impacted by hearing loss, including adults with learning disabilities, older adults in residential care, and members of South Asian communities (Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani). These stakeholders provided valuable feedback on the study's aims, the content and format of the My Hearing PREM items, the survey design and recruitment strategies.
