This book was released on 2006 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although half of all deafness and hearing impairment is avoidable, an estimated 278 million people worldwide are living with disabling hearing impairment (moderate or worse level of hearing loss in the better hearing ear). Many more have mild hearing loss and/or ear diseases. One quarter of hearing impairment begins during childhood, and 80% of all deaf and hearing impaired people live in low and middle income countries. These problems can be life-long and sometimes life-threatening; they may have profound effects on: inter-personal communication, education, employment prospects, social relationships and through stigmatization. They produce substantial economic burdens on countries. Some of the most effective and cost-effective interventions against ear and hearing problems can be implemented at the primary level by trained primary ear and hearing care (PEHC) workers or primary health care (PHC) workers or their equivalents. Used on a large scale, these interventions will have a major impact on the burden of ear disease and hearing loss. However most developing countries do not have PEHC workers and the topic is hardly addressed in the training of PHC workers. The Primary Ear and Hearing Care Training Resource manuals provide practical information and guidance and can be used as part of a training course, stand-alone training module or in a self-taught manner. They are designed to be useful to a wide range of primary health care personnel. The manuals can also be used to help communities understand common causes of deafness and hearing impairment and ways to prevent and/or treat the conditions.

Book excerpt: "Many causes of hearing loss can be prevented or mitigated. In addition, people who develop hearing loss can benefit from appropriate and timely interventions. The profile and causes of hearing loss vary greatly across and within regions, as does the availability of infrastructure and resources to address it. Hence, it is essential that each country develop its own strategic plan to deal with hearing loss and its causes. A national ear and hearing care strategy should seek to reduce the prevalence, incidence and impact of hearing loss in the community, through public health approaches that are integrated with the country's health system and service delivery. The development of a holistic and integrated strategic plan is the first step towards 'provision of effective and sustainable ear and hearing care services.' This manual provides guidance on developing and implementing such a strategy. The manual can be used in combination with the Ear and Hearing Care Situation Analysis Tool, which provides a detailed framework for an initial situation analysis. The planning process for a national ear and hearing care starategy comprises the following phases."--Page [6]
