 |
| Incidence of deafness [Hearing
loss] is very high, compared to other preventable screenable
diseases. Hearing loss cannot be overtly seen hence has to
be looked for by the parents. Most of these children do not
have any other disability. Majority of these children with
timely correct evaluation and management for hearing loss
can be bought to the main stream. They should be sent to normal
schools. |
|
| Children with severe to profound
deafness, if not detected and treated in time become dumb.
Dumbness is preventable. Majority of us are not aware of the
same. Children with profound hearing loss, if intervention
is done by 6 months, do develop adequate spoken language. |
|
| So ideally all new born should
be screened for hearing. Hearing loss may be suspected, if
response of your child is not appropriate. When the child
is Lazy, Inattentive or Naughty. When there is delay in speech
development. When suspected get the child examined in an ENT
centre for hearing. |
|
| Some of the common correctable
conditions are, Secretory otitis media, Impacted wax both
ears, CSOM etc. |
