This will make otoscopic examination difficult and may impair hearing. It may also hinder the diagnosis of acute otitis media (AOM) or otitis media with effusion (OME). This study was a part of a national survey of hearing impairment among Saudi children. This part of the investigation was aimed at screening these children for hearing impairment with special emphasis on the prevalence of impaired wax among them.  ISSN : 1319-1004  Journal Name : Medical Science Journal  Volume : 6  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2005 AH 2005 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, October 4, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email طارق جمال طارق جمال Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  20821.doc doc Incidence of Hearing Impairment and Occluding Wax in Saudi Children Back To Researches Page
