| description | To determine the prevalence of hearing impairment and ear diseases in standard 6
students of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kubang Kerian 3 (SKKK3) and its association with
academic performance. It was a cross-sectional study with follow-up, carried out at SKKK3, Kubang
Kerian, Kelantan in 2008. Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission (2, 3, 4 and 5 kHz) and
Otological Examination were perform in first stage for the purpose of screening the
presence of hearing loss. Participants that failed the first stage will undergo secondary
screening which was Pure Tone Audiometry (0.25 to 8 kHz). Participant’s hearing level
was compared with their learning performance using three methods: class streaming based
on year-end assessment, Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) results and Bahasa
Melayu UPSR results. From overall 232 standard six students, only 193 students participated in this study
and were screened in the first stage. The prevalence of ear diseases was 15% (29
participants). Impacted wax was the commonest ear disease found (8.8%) followed by
chronic suppurative otitis media (2.6%). For the hearing impairment, the prevalence of hearing impairment by primary screening with OAE test and otological examination was 9.8% but following the secondary test with PTA, the prevalence was 10.3%. After
intervention with repeat OAE, |
