תקציר	The Chronic Otitis Media Outcome Test-15 (COMOT-15) is a 15-item patient-reported outcome measure specifically designed to assess the burden and impact of chronic otitis media on health-related quality of life. Developed by Schilder and colleagues (2016), the COMOT-15 measures symptoms (ear discharge, hearing loss, ear pain), hearing function, and psychosocial effects of chronic ear disease. It is the recommended core outcome set for clinical trials and quality improvement programs evaluating chronic otitis media treatment.	The Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults (HHIA) is a 25-item self-report questionnaire that quantifies the functional and emotional effects of hearing loss on daily life, work, and psychosocial well-being. Developed by Newman, Weinstein, Jacobson, and Hug in 1990, the HHIA is the most widely used hearing-specific quality-of-life measure in audiology and otolaryngology. It provides a patient-centered assessment of hearing handicap, distinct from audiometric measures alone, and is standard for baseline assessment, monitoring hearing aid benefit, and outcome evaluation in hearing conservation programs.
