Consistent and early hearing aid use is important for hearing-impaired children to develop speech and language skills. However, parents often face challenges in retaining information from hearing aid orientation sessions and effectively managing their children’s hearing aids. To achieve this, parents need to acquire the necessary information and skills to ensure their children receive consistent daily auditory stimulation through well-functioning hearing aids. This study aimed to develop and validate an online hearing aid management (HAM) module designed to empower parents of hearing-impaired children. A two-phase approach was employed. Phase one involved developing the module’s content based on published literature, while Phase II focused on assessing the module's face and content validity through expert reviews and parent evaluations. Six topics were established during the development process of the module. The development phase resulted in the inclusion of six hearing aid management topics in the 19-minute module. Content validity, measured using the Suitability Assessment of Materials scale, yielded a high mean score of 0.98 (range: 0.86-1.00) from seven experts. Face validation by seven parents using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Audio-visual Materials indicated good understandability (96.4%) and actionability (100%). These results demonstrate that the module has strong content validity and is suitable for enhancing parents' ability to manage their children’s hearing aids.
