“…This is supported by studies by Elliott and Armbruster [11], Greenberg et al [14], Mc Connell and Lift [31] and Ramkalawan and Davis [37] among others. Approximately 1 child in every 1000 live births suffers from a serious congenital hearing impairment [7,29]. The prevalence of hearing impairment is much higher among the population of neonatal intensive care units with figures of 1% reported in Great Britain [7,9], 1.5% in the Netherlands [47] and 2% in the USA [6].…”

“…In India the prevalence is 5.6 per 1,000 live births [6]. But even in developed countries, before universal screening practices were adopted, the age of detecting hearing impairment in these children varied between 2 and 3 years [7][8][9]. All these data show that the age of identification is much higher than the optimal age of detection so that a reasonable rehabilitation can be undertaken [10].…”

A study was conducted to determine why there was a delay in detection of hearing loss in congenitally hearing impaired children in rural India. It was found that although the parents of these children visited a primary care physician, relevant information regarding investigation and rehabilitation of hearing loss was not available to the patient. In the absence of a universal hearing screening programme in this country, it is a matter of importance to strengthen this aspect of community otolaryngology in the undergraduate ENT programme. There is also a need for continuing medical education programmes for primary care physicians regarding available methods of investigation and rehabilitation for a hearing impaired person.

“…These observations led to a series of spe cific recommendations concerning pre vention, early diagnosis and rehabilitation of hearing impairment in children [Martin et al, 1981;Martin, 1982a, b]. A detailed discussion was held at the Bor deaux meeting on the prospects for Euro pean collaboration in the field of hearing impairment.…”

The Commission of the European Communities funds a ‘concerted action’ programme in the area of hearing impairment. The programme does not fund research directly, but is intended to provide funds for coordination of research in different countries. Previous projects funded by the programme include a comprehensive study of the prevalence of childhood deafness in the European Community, and meetings on cochlear implants, human temporal bone histopathology, diagnostic techniques and hearing impairment in children. The programme is currently concerned with new technologies for communication in the hearing impaired and activities in 1988 will include workshops on signal processing hearing aids and early diagnosis in children.
