“…Some of the professionals in this study had a dilemma of being more confident and comfortable with in-person services but seeing the potential benefits of eHealth with respect to time, expense, and travel. Consistent with the literature (Havenga, Swanepoel, le Roux, & Schmid, 2017;McCarthy et al, 2010;Moffatt & Eley, 2010), both families and professionals in the current study expressed their strong motivations and beliefs that eHealth saves families' time, expense, and travel. This belief enhances the motivation for using the eHealth.…”

The researchers provided the intervention sessions by videoconferencing (Skype) and interviewed the families.…”

“…1 Each year, approximately 798,000 new borns are diagnosed with congenital permanent hearing loss, and over 90% of these children reside in developing countries. 1,2,[5][6][7][8][9][10] In addition to permanent hearing loss, otitis media (OM) is one of the most common pathological conditions in childhood. Approximately 80% of children suffer at least one episode of transient hearing loss annually due to OM.…”

“…22,23 Despite the abundant evidence for the negative consequences of hearing loss in children, many developing countries lack well-established screening programmes 24 because of a lack of hearing health services and an unequal distribution of specialists. 3,10,[25][26][27][28] As a rule, a diagnosis of hearing loss is based on a conventional audiological evaluation, including puretone audiometry, which is considered the gold standard for determining hearing thresholds. 3,29,30 Audiometry is usually performed with a standard nonportable clinical audiometer, which could thus represent a limitation on access to hearing evaluations.…”
