In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this observational study is to learn if smartphone hearing screening devices can help to understand the role of ear infections in hearing loss in infants with HIV exposure. The main questions it will answer are 1) What is the screening accuracy of smartphone hearing screening? 2) What is the incidence of ear infections and of abnormal hearing screening findings in infants with and without HIV exposure? Researchers will follow infants with and without HIV exposure for 6 months and will use smartphone and conventional hearing and ear health screening devices at the same time to see if the smartphone devices can help detect ear infections. Parent and infant participants will visit the clinic 3 times over 6 months. At these visits, infants will have hearing and ear health checked using smartphone and conventional devices.
