Hearing loss is a common disability affecting 5% of the world's population. A lack of opportune diagnosis affects both the individual and society. In order to develop public health policies in the field of hearing health, countries must have information about epidemiology.
AIMS/OBJECTIVES: In this review, we describe the information available about prevalence and incidence of hearing loss in school-aged children.
Review of the literature in PubMed.
Reported prevalence of hearing loss in school-aged children varied between 0.2% and 7.8%. Several factors could explain the discrepancy in numbers such as definition of hearing loss, cause, and the inclusion of high-frequency hearing loss. The rate of delayed-onset hearing loss at the age of six years old varied between 0.6 and 0.8 per 1000.
The prevalence of hearing loss in school-aged children varied between 0.2% and 7.8%, and the rate of delayed-onset hearing loss at the age of six years old varied between 0.6 and 0.8 per 1000.
听力损失是一种常见的残疾，影响着全球5%的人口。缺乏及时诊断对个人和社会都会产生影响。为了制定听力健康领域的公共卫生政策，各国必须掌握流行病学信息。
在本综述中，我们描述了有关学龄儿童听力损失患病率和发病率的现有信息。
对PubMed上的文献进行综述。
报道的学龄儿童听力损失患病率在0.2%至7.8%之间。几个因素可以解释数字上的差异，如听力损失的定义、病因以及高频听力损失的纳入情况。6岁时迟发性听力损失的发生率在每1000人中有0.6至0.8例之间。
学龄儿童听力损失的患病率在0.2%至7.8%之间，6岁时迟发性听力损失的发生率在每1000人中有0.6至0.8例之间。
