TI  - The impact of hearing impairment: a global health problem.
PG  - S51-4
AB  - Hearing impairment is a substantial worldwide problem mainly affecting the adult 
      population. The prevalence of permanent childhood hearing impairment (PCHI) is 
      relatively small (1 in 752) but the effects of PCHI are substantial. Children 
      with PCHI (aged 4-12 years; n = 100) who use spoken English as their first 
      language were assessed for cognitive and behaviour performance (controls included 
      hearing children and children with otitis media with effusion). There was a trend 
      in performance across severity for all assessments, with about a 2 SD difference 
      for IQ between hearing controls and PCHI, causing concern for the pervasiveness 
      and impact of even moderate PCHI.
