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.

Download or read book Primary ear and hearing care training manual written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Primary ear and hearing care training manual is intended for training health workers and doctors providing services at primary care health facilities. The manual includes ten modules with discussion points, activities, practicals, and relevant illustrations. An accompanying trainer’s handbook provides guidance on how to structure and customize the training course. Modules can be received separately upon request to [email protected]. Given that ear and hearing problems are some of the most common conditions affecting over 1.5 billion people; and that specialized human resources (e.g., audiologists and ENT specialists) are sparse and unequally distributed, the implementation of this training manuals will contribute to advancing the goal of universal health coverage

Download or read book Hearing Health Care for Adults written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of hearing - be it gradual or acute, mild or severe, present since birth or acquired in older age - can have significant effects on one's communication abilities, quality of life, social participation, and health. Despite this, many people with hearing loss do not seek or receive hearing health care. The reasons are numerous, complex, and often interconnected. For some, hearing health care is not affordable. For others, the appropriate services are difficult to access, or individuals do not know how or where to access them. Others may not want to deal with the stigma that they and society may associate with needing hearing health care and obtaining that care. Still others do not recognize they need hearing health care, as hearing loss is an invisible health condition that often worsens gradually over time. In the United States, an estimated 30 million individuals (12.7 percent of Americans ages 12 years or older) have hearing loss. Globally, hearing loss has been identified as the fifth leading cause of years lived with disability. Successful hearing health care enables individuals with hearing loss to have the freedom to communicate in their environments in ways that are culturally appropriate and that preserve their dignity and function. Hearing Health Care for Adults focuses on improving the accessibility and affordability of hearing health care for adults of all ages. This study examines the hearing health care system, with a focus on non-surgical technologies and services, and offers recommendations for improving access to, the affordability of, and the quality of hearing health care for adults of all ages.

The competency modules are divided into chapters related to the concept of the module. Each chapter begins with objectives and terms with definitions to help orient the reader to the topic. Each module concludes with a "Putting It All Together" section, tying together the concepts of the module with practical activities and allowing the individual to perform the competency as they would for the licensing examination. The section is followed by module quiz questions that allow the reader to increase comprehension and test their knowledge.

Download or read book Integrating Eye Ear Care at Primary Level written by Garg Suneela and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing impairment affects 5.3% of the world population and its implication at individual, family and community level is considerable. Both eye and ear care are public health issues and lack trained manpower to address them. In August 2010 a project was initiated to assess feasibility of integrating ear and eye care services at primary level. During the project, Vision Technicians posted at two vision centres of Dr. Shroff's Charity Hospital, India were trained in primary ear care using WHO 'Intermediate module' and basic equipment to provide primary ear care were provided. The evaluation of pilot project was carried out from November 2012 to January 2013 to assess feasibility of provision of integrated services through already existing public health infrastructure of the country. For in-depth evaluation both quantitative and qualitative methods were used.Training Vision technicians and ophthalmic assistants in private and public health care delivery systems will go a long way in addressing ear morbidities in a cost effective manner in resource poor settings.
Download or read book Preventive audiology written by Katijah Khoza-Shangase and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an original scholarly book that introduces the concept of preventive audiology, with a specific focus on the African context, which is in line with the South African re-engineered primary healthcare strategy as well as the World Health Organisation’s approach. The book reflects on contextually relevant and responsive evidence-based perspectives, grounded in an African context on preventive audiology, in four major ear and hearing burdens of disease within the South African context: (1) early hearing detection and intervention, (2) middle ear pathologies, (3) ototoxicity, and (4) noise-induced hearing loss. The book represents innovative research, seen from both a South African and global perspective. It offers new discourse and argues for a paradigm shift in how audiology is theorised and performed, particularly in low-and-middle-income country contexts. The goal of this book is to motivate a paradigm shift in how the ear and hearing care is approached within this low-and-middle-income country context while arguing for Afrocentric best practice evidence that leads to next practice.
