Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Hearing Science
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a powerful research tool for evaluating real-life experiences.
  • Applying EMA in audiological research presents unique opportunities and challenges.
  • Beginners may find EMA complex, necessitating guidance for effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a tutorial on conducting EMA studies in hearing care.
  • To highlight important considerations for audiological EMA study design.
  • To assist hearing researchers in avoiding common pitfalls and strengthening their study designs.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of study design elements: participant selection, study period representativeness, and balancing participant burden with data needs.
  • Review of mobile devices, sensors for acoustic data collection, and various EMA setups (online questionnaires, proprietary apps).
  • Inclusion of example questionnaire items from previous studies with references.

Main Results:

  • EMA yields rich but potentially noisy datasets with unequal participant data.
  • Recommendations are provided for data compliance checks (reactivity, careless responses).
  • Methods for individual and group-level statistical analysis are discussed, including hearing device program comparisons.

Conclusions:

  • While specific guidelines for audiological EMA are still developing, this tutorial offers practical advice.
  • Careful consideration of study design, data collection, and analysis is crucial for successful EMA implementation in hearing research.
  • This resource aims to improve the rigor and validity of EMA studies in the field of hearing care.
