Hearing loss in infants and children may be sensorineural, conductive, or mixed. Severity varies from mild to profound. Educational initiatives aimed at children, parents, and primary health care providers could help prevent needless permanent hearing impairment. Effective programs aimed at education and hearing conservation among children and adolescents are overdue. The causes of sensorineural hearing loss, the concept of multidisciplinary team evaluation, and measurement of hearing are discussed. Advances in genetics of hearing loss are reviewed.
婴幼儿的听力损失可能是感音神经性的、传导性的或混合性的。严重程度从轻度到重度不等。针对儿童、家长和初级卫生保健提供者的教育举措有助于预防不必要的永久性听力损害。针对儿童和青少年的教育及听力保护的有效项目早就该开展了。本文讨论了感音神经性听力损失的病因、多学科团队评估的概念以及听力测量方法。还综述了听力损失遗传学方面的进展。
