Selected children underwent otoscopic examination prior to in-community pure tone screening using the portable ShoeBox audiometer. The LittlEars auditory questionnaire was also administered to caregivers and parents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215119001658_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were collected from 387 children. After conditioning, 362 children were screened using monaural pure tones presented at 25 dB. Twenty-five children could not be conditioned to behavioural audiometric screening. Eight children were referred based on audiometric screening results. Of those, four were identified as having hearing loss. Four children scored less than the maximum mark of 35 on the LittleEars questionnaire. Of those, three had hearing loss as identified through pure tone screening. The predominant physical finding on otoscopy was ear canal cerumen impaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215119001658_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Paediatric hearing loss is prevalent in Ghana, and should be treated as a public health problem warranting further evaluation and epidemiology characterisation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215119001658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,22]],"date-time":"2019-08-22T06:31:25Z","timestamp":1566455485000},"page":"796-804","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Paediatric hearing loss: a community-based survey in peri-urban Kumasi, Ghana"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"133","author":[{"given":"R","family":"Larsen-Reindorf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Otupiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J E","family":"Anomah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B M","family":"Edwards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Frimpong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B","family":"Waller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M E","family":"Prince","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G J","family":"Basura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215117000330"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/16549716.2018.1467077"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref18","first-page":"77","volume":"5","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Educ Pract"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2018.05.018"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref16","volume-title":"Prevalence of Hearing Impairment in the Offinso Municipality","year":"2011"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref15","volume-title":"Prevalence of Hearing Impairment at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital","year":"2013"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.106.3.e43"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref14","first-page":"110","volume":"13","year":"2006","journal-title":"Afr J Health Sci"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa054915"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref13","volume-title":"Prevalence and Risk Factors of Hearing Loss among Pediatric Patients at a Tertiary Teaching Hospital in Accra","year":"2015"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2014.04.010"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0040074"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref6","first-page":"129","volume":"41","year":"1987","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngol Belg"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2007-2333"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckr176"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.296.4.441"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3766\/jaaa.24.7.9"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2016.08.016"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref27","first-page":"1987","volume":"7","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14992027.2016.1244868"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599815593737"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2473974X18766824","DOI":"10.1177\/2473974X18766824","volume":"2","year":"2018","journal-title":"OTO Open"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2016.02.021"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1084713811412056"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2004.11.020"},{"key":"S0022215119001658_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.12640"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Laryngology &amp;
