“…Chishty et al [15] similarly reported ear wax as being the commonest finding accounting for 41.9% in their study population. Although many studies reported lower prevalence of ear wax compared to this present study, it was still the most common otologic disease in majority of the studies [1] Thakur et al [1] in Nepal, Kirfi et al [6] in Nigeria, Chandha et al [7] in India, Simoes et al [19] in Kenya, Yamamah et al [20] in Egypt and Mahmoud et al [21] also in Egypt reported a prevalence of ear wax of 25.1%, 29.5%, 4.2%, 4.6%, 7.9%, 9.5% and 21.3% respectively. Habitual use of cotton bud to "clean" the ears is a common practice in this part of the country [6], and may well account for this level of wax impaction.…”

Background: Preventable otologic conditions have been found to be important health issues among paediatric age group. Poor socioeconomic status and inappropriate management services in developing countries lead to various complications despite the fact that most of these diseases are self-limiting. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and pattern of ear diseases in school children of high and low socioeconomic status in Yola, Nigeria. Methods: This study was conducted in March 2017 in two primary schools (private and public) in Yola among 6 -8 years old pupils. Approval for the study was obtained from Federal Medical Centre, Yola and consent was obtained from the parents/guardians and the school authorities. Using a health questionnaire, a brief ENT history was obtained from children in years 1 and 2 of each school. Otoscopic examination, audiometry and tympanometry were then carried out. Data collected was analysed using SPSS version 20. Results: One hundred and three children were studied. The age range was 6 -8 with mean age of 6.8 ± 0.9 and 53 (51.5%) boys. Fifty-two (50.5%) were from public school (low socio-economic class) and 51 (49.5%) from private (high social class). Wax was the most common ear condition encountered affecting 37 (35.9%) children, and the number was similar in both groups. Otitis media with effusion (OME) was encountered in seven children evenly split between the two groups showing a point incidence of 6.8%. There was hearing loss in 13 (12.6%) children, and this was also similar in the two groups. Conclusion: Wax impaction was the commonest otologic disease encountered. Our study also showed a point incidence of 6.8% for OME, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups, and neither was there How to cite this paper:

“…Children with HD, they appear to be neglected by peers and experience more isolation and loneliness in school than do hearing children. Therefore, it is important to pay great attention on fostering their positive peer interaction when educating and rehabilitating children with HD (Mahmoud et al, 2016). Children with visual disabilities are characterized by certain features associated with the sensory sphere, which limit their ability to get information from the outside world, lead to changes in methods and resources of communication, and cause problems for social adaptation and acquisition of social skills.…”

Socialization of a child is something that is typically a natural phenomenon, but for children with disabilities, it can be difficult and especially challenging. Aim: This study aimed to explore the habits and socialization among primary school children having visual, hearing, and intellectual disabilities. Design: Cross-sectional descriptive research design was used in this study. Setting: This study was conducted at special needs schools in Assiut city; includes El-Fekria school for mentally retarded children, El-Nour for blind children and El-Amal school for deaf and dumb. Sample: A convenient sample included parents of 588 disabled children. Tools: A structured interview questionnaire was used. It includes characteristics of the child and their parents, family history and consanguinity, medical history of the child disability, as well as parents' knowledge about disability. Results: The majority of children were males, from rural areas, have illiterate fathers and mothers, they had positive history of disability and consanguinity, & the majority of parent had unsatisfactory level of knowledge. Conclusion: disabled children are more likely to have socialization problems. Their parents' knowledge about disability is very low. Recommendation: The current study recommended that provide support and education programs for parents to improve the care provided to children with disabilities.

IntroductionEarly Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programmes were established to reduce the impact of hearing loss on children. High-income countries (HICs) have resources and knowledge to execute these programmes. However, financial and other resource constraints limit the availability of these programmes to low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Yet, LMICs have explored strategies to implement EHDI programmes in their context; the outcomes are still largely unknown.The aim of this study is to identify the various models of the EHDI program implemented in non-Asian LMICs.AimMethodStudies published between 2010 and 2023 reporting EHDI programmes in non-Asian LMICs for children were considered. The primary databases searched were PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EBSCOHost, EBSCO-CINAHL and ProQuest dissertations. The search results are summarised using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses chart. Quality appraisal and risk-of-bias assessment were assessed. Using the retrieved data, a narrative synthesis of the identified methods and forest plots for the prevalence estimate was created.ResultsFifty-six studies from 16 LMICs were included. They were grouped into 29 hearing screening programmes for neonates and infants and 26 programmes for older children. Predominantly hospital-based screening was employed for neonates and infants and school-based screening for older children. Two-stage otoacoustic emissions screening was employed for neonates and infants, while single-stage pure tone audiometry with otoscopy screening was used for older children. Predominantly, audiologists performed screening and diagnostics for neonates/infants while community health workers performed screening for the older children. Screening aspects were reported predominantly and not diagnostic evaluation/intervention outcomes. Overall, the economics of EHDI was reported only anecdotally in a few studies.ConclusionThe screening strategies were not uniform among non-Asian LMICs. The protocols used were similar to HICs, yet few developed protocols adapting the Joint Committee of Infant Hearing. However, long-term outcomes such as rate of identification, suitable intervention and their outcomes are not known. EHDI programmes with successful outcomes of early intervention must be studied and reported with economic evaluations.
