Physicians reading this will have a broad range of in-depth knowledge about their own subspecialty. However, in daily medical practice there are topics of which all physicians should have some knowledge. Those who deal with young people should have some knowledge of the needs of the hearing-impaired population within this group of patients. This article is intended to provide an overview of young people with hearing impairment (HIYP), the challenges they face and what we can do to help them. In this paper, we assume that data published regarding hearing-impaired children apply to HIYP from 13 years (the age at which the transition process begins) to 25 years of age (the age at which 'youth' according to the World health Organization and the Education Health Care Plan ends).
阅读本文的医师对自己的亚专科领域会有广泛而深入的了解。然而，在日常医疗实践中，有一些主题是所有医师都应该有所了解的。那些接触年轻人的医师应该了解这一患者群体中听障人群的需求。本文旨在概述青少年听力受损人群（HIYP），讨论他们所面临的挑战以及我们可以采取哪些措施来帮助他们。在本文中，我们假设针对听障儿童发表的数据同样适用于 13 岁（过渡阶段开始的年龄）至 25 岁（世界卫生组织和教育保健计划中“青年”结束的年龄）的 HIYP。
