BACKGROUND
Detection of hearing loss at birth or early childhood is difficult. This bears on the rehabilitation of the child as the golden period of learning is lost. Reliable statistics relating the average age for detection of hearing loss and fitting of hearing aids in children are not available in our country. A survey of 52 deaf mutes was therefore conducted to ascertain the probable causes that lead to deafness.
METHODS
The study subjects were 42 deaf mutes from the Government run school for deaf mutes and 10 from ASHA School run by the Army Wives Welfare Association. A questionnaire prepared in Hindi was filled by the parents and data analysed.
RESULTS
The average age of detection of hearing loss was 2.8 years and the average age for receiving a hearing aid was 7.6 years. Thus due to the significant reduction of sensory input at the 'golden period of learning' only 50% of those fitted with a hearing aid found it useful. In 42.3% the cause of deafness could not be identified.
CONCLUSION
Greater emphasis is required on early diagnosis of childhood deafness and fitment of hearing aid.
背景
在出生时或儿童早期检测听力损失很困难。这对儿童的康复产生影响，因为学习的黄金时期被错过了。我国没有关于儿童听力损失检测及助听器适配平均年龄的可靠统计数据。因此，对52名聋哑人进行了一项调查，以确定导致失聪的可能原因。
方法
研究对象包括42名来自政府开办的聋哑学校的聋哑人和10名来自军属福利协会开办的阿莎学校的聋哑人。由家长填写用印地语编写的问卷，并对数据进行分析。
结果
听力损失检测的平均年龄为2.8岁，接受助听器的平均年龄为7.6岁。因此，由于在“学习黄金时期”感觉输入显著减少，只有50%佩戴助听器的人觉得它有用。在42.3%的案例中，失聪原因无法确定。
结论
需要更加重视儿童期耳聋的早期诊断和助听器适配。
