[The role of active audiological examination of infants in detection and prevention of hearing disorders].
In screening examination of 202 young children attending kindergartens, acoustic impedance audiometry has detected children (44%) with hearing problems. Endoscopic examination of the nasopharynx demonstrated that conductive hypoacusis resulted from hypertrophy of adenoid vegetations of different degree and chronic adenoiditis. These data emphasize the role of active audiological examination of young children in detection and prophylaxis of acoustic disorders.
