Aim To summarize the literature on the prevalence of pediatric hearing loss in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Method A systematic review initially identified 2833 studies, of which 122 met the criteria for inclusion. Eighty‐six of those studies included diagnoses and were included in a meta‐analysis. Results The meta‐analysis indicated a 1% (95% confidence interval = 0.8–2.0) prevalence of childhood hearing loss across LMICs. There was significant heterogeneity between studies and evidence of publication bias. The prevalence of mild and moderate cases of hearing loss was higher than more severe cases and there were fewer cases of mixed hearing loss compared to conductive or sensorineural hearing loss. No differences were identified between the prevalence of unilateral versus bilateral hearing loss or hearing loss according to sex. The quality of the studies, age of participants, and location of data collection may have influenced the results. High variability in the reporting of etiology made the causes of hearing loss unclear. Interpretation The literature indicates that 1% of children in LMICs have hearing losses. However, most studies missed children with acquired hearing loss, which may lead to under‐reporting of global prevalence. This systematic review is an initial step toward developing and implementing population‐appropriate treatment and prevention programs for childhood hearing loss in LMICs. What this paper adds The prevalence of childhood hearing loss in low‐ and middle‐income countries is 1%. Reporting of hearing loss etiology was highly variable.

“…Regarding the accuracy of hearing-screening, it is evident that the ABR has 100% sensitivities and 97.2% specificities; whereas the OAE have 50% sensitivities and 49.1% specificities (Manikam et al , 2017). Previous studies showed that increasing the age at early screening and retests reduces the number of referral cases (Akinpelu et al , 2014; Ospina-Garcia et al , 2020). Similarly, screenings having higher frequencies had lowered the referral cases.…”

Purpose Congenital hearing disabilities among children are associated with lifetime discrepancies in the attainment of speech, poor academic-performance, socio-individual isolation and emotional-maladjustments. The present study aims to combine evidence from randomized, controlled trials to assess the accuracy of hearing-screening procedures and relative diagnostic-tests concomitant with partial/permanent hearing loss (HL) among neonatal and under-five children. Design/methodology/approach The steps in this process were conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred-Reporting-Items-for-Systematic-reviews-and-Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The PubMed, ProQuest, Science-Direct, Cochrane-Library and secondary reference databases were searched. Analyses were carried out by using fixed/random-effects-models for calculating the summary estimates on hearing-screening and test-procedure. Meta-regression-analysis is performed to explore the influence of confounders on the net-pooled effect. Findings A total of 1,656 articles were identified, and 1,575 were excluded as they were not relevant to the purpose of the study. Further, out of 81 studies, 67 were excluded with reasons and 14 were included in the final analysis. Three independent reviewers have assessed the titles/abstracts for their potential relevance. The results from meta-analysis indicate that hearing-screening was significantly higher in the intervention group (n 8,102; OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.34, 0.79; p < 0.00001), as depicted via forest plot. Meta-regression analysis indicates a positive relationship between the age and effect size (regression-coefficient 0.638, 95% CI 0.005, 0.731; p < 0.05). Research limitations/implications The evidence from the present study can be used as reference for identifying the associated risk indicators, improved hearing-screening and reduction of hearing disability among under-five children. Practical implications The results of this review will be used for implementation of a new-born hearing screening, diagnostic accuracy and understanding the risk indicators for HL among under-five children in the South-Asian region. The evidence will be helpful for strategic directions for improved hearing screening and reduction of hearing disability among under-five children. Social implications By understanding the underlying dynamics of hearing-screening procedures, hearing-impairments can be identified at an early stage and required treatment can be provided to the children. Originality/value The findings of this study indicate that early detection, screening and diagnosis of the HL among the children, especially among the infants and new-born (0–2 years of age), will be of utmost importance in reducing the prevalence of HL, especially among the South-Asian region. This study can be used as a reference for other future studies in the area of hearing-screening, diagnostic accuracy and associated risk indicators among children.

“…and other risk factors such as hypoxia at birth, hyperbilirubinemia, prematurity, and being treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 5 days [14]. Research conducted by Juan C. Ospina (2019) in Colombia, the etiology of congenital sensorineural deafness is often reported with unknown causes (37.7%), non-syndromic genetics (29.2%), syndromic genetics (3.2%), prenatal (12%), perinatal (9.6%), and postnatal (8.2%) [15,16]. Based on the high percentage of prenatal sensorineural deafness, the researchers felt it was important to know the relationship between prenatal risk factors and sensorineural deafness in children at the ENT-Head and Neck Polyclinic at RSUDZA Banda Aceh.…”

Background: Sensorineural deafness is one of congenital disorders that caused by prenatal, natal, and postnatal factors. Sensorineural deafness is a public health problem in the world due to its high prevalence and highly negative impact on child development. Objective: To determine the relation between prenatal risk factors (family history of hearing loss, ototoxic drugs consumption, history of infection, history of Diabetes Mellitus, history of gestational hypertension) with sensorineural hearing loss in children at ENT- Head and Neck Polyclinic Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital. Methods: This study was analytic retrospective with cross sectional design. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The total samples are 47 children at the ENT-Head and Neck Polyclinic of RSUDZA who has been examined with OAE, BERA and ASSR from January 2020 to December 2021 and diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss. Data were analyzed using SPSS which bivariate analysis using Chi- square and Fisher’s exact. Results: 47 children who had been diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss included in the inclusion criteria. The mean age of children in this study was 3.44 years with male predominance of 55.3%. The most severe degree of hearing loss was found with the percentage of weight (93.6%) in right ear and (89.4%) in left ear. A history of maternal infection during pregnancy was the most common risk factor found in this study with profound hearing loss in both ears with p value = 0.05. Conclusion: No relation between prenatal risk factors and sensorineural hearing loss in children.
