This book was released on 1998 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is common in preschool and new entrant school children, particularly in Maori and Pacific Island children. OME is frequently associated with conductive hearing loss. New Zealand has various health promotion strategies in place for OME including a national screening programme of 3 and 5-year-old children. There has been concern both internationally and within New Zealand over the effectiveness of these screening programmes. Using a systematic methodology, this review examined the evidence for screening programmes for OME and conductive hearing loss using Wilson and Jungner's screening criteria. Suitable screening tests are available for OME (tympanometry) and conductive hearing loss (audiometry). However, hearing testing of children under 4 years of age is more difficult. Screening programmes for OME and conductive hearing loss may vary greatly in the way they are constructed, and consequently vary in their sensitivity, specificity and predictive value. This makes it difficult to compare different screening programmes. Only a few studies have examined screening programmes for OME and conductive hearing loss and these were generally deficient in their design. They did not demonstrate screening programmes to be an effective strategy for OME and conductive hearing loss. Unfortunately, it is therefore not possible to conclude from the litterature reviewed in this report whether or nor screening programmes for OME and conductive hearing loss in preschool and school entrant children are an effective health strategy. It must be noted, that it cannot be concluded that current screening programmes for OME and conductive hearing loss in New Zealand are ineffective.

This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Fast Facts: Early Hearing' Detection and Intervention an international team of contributors brings together the evidence that supports the effectiveness of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) and early hearing detection and intervention services (EHDI). As well as considering elements essential to successful UNHS/EHDI programs, including screening technologies, resources, data management and family-centered early intervention services, the team discusses the resources needed to deliver such programs as well as the performance of screening programs globally. The aim is to provide a comprehensive compendium of information to make the case for greater recognition of the importance of UNHS/EHDI and so improve the life chances of children who are diagnosed as deaf or hard of hearing. Table of Contents: • Newborn hearing screening and EHDI • Rationale for UNHS/EHDI programs • Prevalence of newborn hearing loss and performance of screening programs • Global status of newborn and infant hearing screening • Genetic and CMV testing • Medical evaluation and management of permanent childhood hearing loss • Middle ear effusion and other barriers to timely diagnosis • Data management systems for newborn hearing screening programs • Establishing UNHS/EHDI programs • Pediatric diagnostic audiology • Amplification device fitting • Family-centered early intervention • Unilateral hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder

Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.
