Full Description
Indigenous people in Australia, as well as many people in developing nations, experience high levels of ear disease and related hearing loss. This endemic ear disease is related to poverty - crowded housing, poor access to health servces, poor nutrition. While conductive hearing loss related to ear disease is most common in childhood up to 70% of Inidgenous hearing loss are left with some degree of permanant hearing loss as a consequence of chronic ear disease. This presentation describes the educational, employment and general disadvantage experienced by Indigenous people due to having hearing loss.
