INTRODUCTION
Hearing loss among kindergarten children is considered as a major health problem especially when there is a deficiency in routine hearing screening during the clinical examination. The aim of the study was to detect any pattern of hearing loss among kindergarten children in Jazan (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
METHODS
A total of 1220 kindergarten students in Jazan (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) were subjected to meticulous hearing evaluation using otological examination, Tuning fork tests, pure tone audiometry (PTA), speech audiometry, and tympanometry.
RESULTS
We found that 18 kindergarten students had type C tympanogram (Eustachian tube dysfunction), 28 had type B tympanogram (secretory otitis media with conductive hearing loss), 4 had chronic otitis media with conductive hearing loss, and 6 had mild sensorineural hearing loss.
CONCLUSIONS
Early detection and eradication of hearing loss improves quality of life outcomes of children which reduces the incidence of social burden from unrecognized hearing loss.
引言
幼儿园儿童听力损失被视为一个主要的健康问题，尤其是在临床检查中常规听力筛查存在不足的情况下。本研究的目的是检测沙特阿拉伯王国吉赞地区幼儿园儿童听力损失的任何模式。
方法
对沙特阿拉伯王国吉赞地区的1220名幼儿园学生进行了细致的听力评估，采用耳科检查、音叉试验、纯音听力测定（PTA）、言语听力测定和鼓室图检查。
结果
我们发现18名幼儿园学生有C型鼓室图（咽鼓管功能障碍），28名有B型鼓室图（分泌性中耳炎伴传导性听力损失），4名有慢性中耳炎伴传导性听力损失，6名有轻度感音神经性听力损失。
结论
早期发现和消除听力损失可改善儿童的生活质量，降低未被识别的听力损失所带来的社会负担发生率。
