Hearing Loss in Children
Approximately 2 to 3 out of 1000 children in the United States are born with a significant hearing loss. Early identification and intervention of hearing loss is crucial to children’s lifelong learning outcomes. It is well documented that later identification of hearing loss can lead to significant delays in children’s speech, language, literacy, social and emotional development. This course addresses gaps currently existing in the health education curriculum for pediatric hearing loss and gives learners the foundational knowledge that can be applied immediately in a broad range of health, educational, and home settings. Benefits of the course include: • Basics of hearing and vestibular systems • Overview of early hearing screening programs • Clinic videos related to diagnosis, treatment & management of hearing loss in children • Personal interviews with children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing • Overview of the public health & educational infrastructure supporting children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing • Taught by multi-disciplinary pediatric experts • Exclusive operating room footage exploring ear anatomy and surgical ear procedures The University of Michigan Medical School designates this enduring material for a maximum of 11.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. The University of Michigan Medical School is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. This activity contributes to the CME component of the American Board of Pediatrics’s Maintenance of Certification Part II program. More information can be found in the course.

Reviewed Apr 3, 2022This course in hearing loss in children, span a wide array of topics and serve a multitude of purposes for different hearing loss diagnosis. According to the WHO, hearing loss has become a global pandemic, I would say, a silent pandemic. Hearing loss is the most neglected and misunderstood disability with devastating effects when early identification and diagnosis are not made and moreover, hearing loss is a highly specialized field. This course is a medical course in the department of Otorhinolaryngology, Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Michigan. The course is of a high standard and quality specicialsists which provide a solid foundation to learn and understand hearing loss better. Bravo to the team of Otorhinolaryngology, University of Michigan!
