	Hearing Impairment from Pediatrics / Otolaryngology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Background: Hearing loss is more prevalent than diabetes mellitus, myelomeningocele, all pediatric cancers, and numerous other medical conditions; yet medical students and pediatric residents learn very little about hearing impairment, how to advise parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, or the special considerations needed in caring for children with hearing loss.
		Prior to routine neonatal hearing screening programs (with a goal of universal screening, in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP] policy statement), the average age of diagnosis of deafness was 2.5 years.
		Those with an acquired hearing loss should have their ears evaluated by inspection for external defects or obstructions blocking sound conduction down the ear canal (eg, cerumen, foreign bodies) and by otoscopy for evidence of current or chronic infections (eg, perforation or scarring of the tympanic membrane, cholesteatoma, abnormal landmarks, fluid behind the tympanic membrane).

		It is useful in the diagnosis of pseudohypacusis (hypacusis is a hearing impairment of a conductive or a neurosensory nature, and pseudohypacusis is a non-existent [false] hearing loss).
