Because hearing is a key component in the infant’s development of speech, language, and cognition, early detection of infant hearing loss is critically important. The routine evaluation of hearing should include the identification of parental concerns regarding infant hearing as well as the assessment and diagnosis of infants with potential hearing impairment. Identification of hearing loss should be followed by early interventions to prevent developmental delays. This article promotes universal screening of newborn hearing. The article also provides a review of the embryogenesis of hearing and includes a breakdown of risks for hearing loss, recommendations for auditory testing, and suggestions for follow-up, early intervention, and support for families of infants with hearing impairment.

Abstract Introduction Hearing is one of the traditional five senses that is also the fastest sense. Inadequate hearing acuity especially during early age has serious effects on the development of a child’s personality. According to World Health Organization, around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss and of these ~34 million are children. Hearing loss in children may occur due to several reasons, but ~60% of childhood hearing loss occurs from preventable causes. An early detection of these conditions plays an important role in reduction in magnitude of this problem. Aims and Objectives The motive of this study is to estimate the prevalence of hearing impairment among school-going children in Ghaziabad on the basis of otological findings and tuning fork tests. Materials and Methods A random sample of 500 school-going children between the ages of 6 to 14 years was selected from children attending ENT OPD in Santosh Hospital, Ghaziabad, over a period of 8 months from July 2019 till February 2020. Results and Conclusion Prevalence rate encountered in this study was 13%, with unilateral hearing loss being more common than bilateral. The commonest cause was found to be cerumen. A higher prevalence was found in children from semiurban and low socioeconomic background. Since the commonest cause is preventable and readily correctable by proper management, early detection can reduce the burden of this disability.

PENDAHULUAN: Telinga adalah salah satu organ yang paling penting  dari  akal , yang memungkinkan manusia untuk mendengar, menerima informasi, berkomunikasi, dan bersosialisasi dengan orang lain. Gangguan pendengaran akan menghambat kehidupan dan sosialisasi manusia. Anak-anak yang lahir dengan gangguan pendengaran akan menjadi tuna rungu; karena itu, gangguan pendengaran harus dideteksi dan bertindak dini dan menyeluruh. Wabah COVID-19 berdampak pada deteksi dini dan gangguan pendengaran. Sosialisasi berupa edukasi tentang deteksi dini dan gangguan pendengaran di era pandemi COVID-19 kepada tenaga medis garis depan yang diperlukan. Kegiatan edukasi tersebut bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan tenaga medis untuk melakukan deteksi dini dan penanganan gangguan pendengaran dalam pandemi COVID-19.METODE: Kondisi wabah COVID-19 juga telah mengubah pola interaksi manusia, termasuk kegiatan pendidikan dan pelatihan di bidang medis. Pendidikan online kini sudah menjadi praktik yang lumrah. Studi Penyanyi mengikuti kegiatan Metode edukasi DetEksi dini Dan Gangguan pendengaran di era Pandemi COVID-19.HASIL: Seminar dengan metode online ini dilaksanakan dengan ceramah dan tanya jawab (Tanya Jawab) yang diikuti oleh 1.4 84 peserta. Skor rata-rata dari tes awal adalah 55. 05 (+ 15,61) dan skor rata-rata post-tes adalah 72. 00 (+ 21,61). Perbandingan hasil kedua dengan uji-t memberikan hasil yang berbeda nyata (p <0,0 5 ).KESIMPULAN: Metode online dalam kegiatan pendidikan menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan tenaga medis.
