| Studies done in developed countries
show approximately 2% of the children have hearing loss needing
attention. It should be higher in our country. Sociology defines
“Man is a social animal”. To be social we need
verbal communication. Hearing loss hinders verbal communication.
Thus the need to create awareness on deafness and the handicap
due to the same. |
|
| Severe and profound hearing
loss in childhood leads to dumbness. If hearing loss is detected
[Early detection program] and corrective measures give in
time, dumbness is preventable. |
|
| Even a mild hearing loss can
affect the child’s learning capabilities as they can
miss out on a percentage of classroom instructions. This handicap
due to hearing loss should be of grave concern to educators,
school teachers and parents alike. Majority of these children
can be bought to the main stream by correct evaluation and
management for hearing loss. |
|
| Parents / teachers / elderly
and the society in general needs to be made aware of this
correctable disability. |
