However, it is not clear how QoL has been investigated in this population, especially during the first years of life. We reviewed research on QoL of children who are DHH aged 0\u20137\u2009years and their families to describe the state of current research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data Sources<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Articles published during the last 10\u2009years were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsychArticles, ProQuest, and Scopus on QoL of young children and their families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Review Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA\u2010ScR guidelines.

They measured various aspects of QoL, and many lacked a definition of the term itself. Hearing\u2010specific and general QoL questionnaires were used to collect data, but psychometric properties were often not documented. Children with cochlear implants were the most frequently studied population, whereas mild, moderate, and unilateral hearing losses were underrepresented. Research on the effects of family\u2010centered early intervention on child and family QoL was practically absent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>QoL includes multiple aspects, and they need to be specified in each study to facilitate cross\u2010study comparison.
