Incidence of Hearing Impairment and Occluding Wax in Saudi Children
 
Subject : Ear wax or cerumen 
Document Language : English 
Abstract : The presence of wax in small amounts may not be noticed, but if it accumulates in the EAC, it forms wax plugs. This will make otoscopic examination difficult and may impair hearing. It may also hinder the diagnosis of acute otitis media (AOM) or otitis media with effusion (OME). This study was a part of a national survey of hearing impairment among Saudi children. This part of the investigation was aimed at screening these children for hearing impairment with special emphasis on the prevalence of impaired wax among them.
