The age at identification and intervention in different samples of children with congenital/early acquired hearing disability is described. The prevalence of congenital/early acquired hearing disability was 1.3/1,000. Among hearing disabled children born 1970-1975 only 16% were identified at the age of one year, whereas among children born 1980-1985, 37% were identified at this age. Children at-risk are not identified earlier than children not-at-risk. In 50-60% the parents are the first to suspect their child's hearing disability, and it is emphasized that non-professional screening resources are present in the general population and should be taken into account. Better information to both professionals and non-professionals about high-risk criteria and about the signs of hearing disability in combination with easy access to a professional audiological unit could improve the early detection and intervention of hearing disabled children.
描述了不同先天性/早期获得性听力障碍儿童样本的识别和干预年龄。先天性/早期获得性听力障碍的患病率为1.3/1000。在1970 - 1975年出生的听力障碍儿童中，只有16%在1岁时被识别出来，而在1980 - 1985年出生的儿童中，这一比例为37%。有风险的儿童不比无风险的儿童更早被识别。50 - 60%的情况下，父母是首先怀疑孩子听力有障碍的人，并且强调普通人群中存在非专业筛查资源，应该予以考虑。向专业人员和非专业人员提供关于高危标准以及听力障碍迹象的更好信息，同时方便他们进入专业听力学机构，这可能会改善听力障碍儿童的早期检测和干预。
