    Author: Olusanya BO, Eletu OB, Odusote O, Somefun AO, Olude O.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 2006 Oct; 95(10):1300-2. PubMed ID: 16982506.
    Abstract:
    AIM AND METHODS: To investigate the experiences of doctors and nurses in infant hearing loss through an open-ended questionnaire in Lagos, Nigeria. RESULTS: Few respondents detected children with hearing loss within the first 6 mo of life. Parental concern was the most significant lead for doctors. Children suspected of hearing loss were often referred to ENT surgeons before objective hearing evaluation was conducted. CONCLUSION: Doctors and nurses should routinely seek objective infant hearing assessment for timely detection of permanent hearing loss.
