title: Practical approach to pediatric hearing problems.
abstract: The identification and measurement of suspected hearing loss in pediatric patients presents a formidable challenge to the physician. Since he is responsible not only for determining the nature and extent of the hearing deficit, but also for overall management throughout the patient's learning life, an early and accurate diagnosis of the loss is mandatory.
