Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in children in the Gizan area.
This study is a preliminary estimate of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss in Saudi children in the Gizan region. From 1986 to 1990, a total of 185 children with significant bilateral sensorineural deafness were seen. Probable contributory factors are outlined and implications for future management discussed. It is hoped that this paper will convey an increased awareness of this problem.
