Based on anamnesis, physical examination, diagnosis, and supporting examinations in up to 226 pediatric patients with hearing loss, secondary data from medical records were gathered. Children between the ages of 0 and 17 made up the study’s hearing-impaired subjects.
Conclusion: One of the most important and prevalent issues in the world is hearing loss. The community’s productivity is severely hampered by this disorder, which also isolates the sufferer from their surroundings.
