Abstract | The recent advances in the management of hearing problems are in three areas; firstly, early detection and diagnosis of hearing loss in children so that rehabilitation can be started whenever appropriate. Secondly, prostheses can be made from better tolerated material and employed for surgical reconstruction of the ossicular chain in the middle ear. Finally, the rehabilitation of those patients who have sensorineural problems can be enhanced by the programmable hearing aids. For the unfortunate patients who suffer from profound deafness, a cochlear implantation can be carried out to enable them to regain functional hearing. |
