title: Questionnaires on satisfaction of amplification in children: a systematic review.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To perform a systematic review of the literature on questionnaires to assess the benefits of using hearing aids in children.
  
  
  METHODS
  A literature search was conducted in the data-bases Web of Science and Virtual Health Library (BIREME). The selection criteria included: title consistent with the purpose of this review; participants necessarily being children using hearing aids; and questionnaires to assess the benefits and satisfaction.
  
  
  RESULTS
  More evidence was found in studies that used the scale Parent's Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children (PEACH), making it possibly the most consistent scale on the subjective evaluation of the use of amplification in children.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a paucity of studies with this approach; however, the results showed the importance of researches in this area, which turns the subject into an important field of research.
