摘要
BackgroundHearing 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/ObjectivesIn this review, we describe the information available about prevalence and incidence of hearing loss in school-aged children.Material and MethodsReview of the literature in PubMed.ResultsReported 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.Conclusions and SignificanceThe 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.
