Abstract

Background: Hearing function is one of the most important factors affecting children’s development process. The first three years of life is a golden period of growth and development of children. This study was conducted to investigate the hearing profile of children below three years old at Jatinangor Integrative Health Care Center (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu, Posyandu), West Java, Indonesia.Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted to 86 children below three years old who was selected by using multistage cluster sampling at 12 Posyandu in Jatinangor sub-district by using in-depth interview related to hearing loss risk factors, reaction test, and tympanometry test.Results: The hearing loss prevalence of children below three years old in the Jatinangor sub-district was 7.0%. Of the 86 children, there were 2.3% (n=2) children with moderate conductive hearing loss, 1.2% (n=1) children with moderate sensorineural hearing loss, and 3.5% (n=3) children with very severe sensorineural hearing loss. Fifty percent of children with sensorineural hearing loss were discovered without any risk factor.Conclusions: The prevalence of hearing loss in children under three years old at the Jatinangor Integrative Health Care Center is slightly higher than the national prevalence. Fifty percent of children are found without risk factors, therefore Universal Newborn Hearing Examination (UNHS) needs to be implemented at the national level in accordance with the guidelines of the Joint Committee for Infant Hearing (JCIH) in which are integrated with primary health care units, tertiary health care centers otorhinolaryngology, and also the audiological center.

Abstract

Background: Nasal foreign bodies are caused by the insertion of an extraneous substance into the nasal cavity. These cases frequently occur in children. Nasal foreign bodies are easily diagnosed, yet the treatment may be burdensome with possible complications and costly management. The study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of nasal foreign body cases.Methods: The study was descriptive and cross-sectional, using secondary data taken from all medical records of the Emergency Room in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, from 2018 to 2021. Data were presented in tables.Results: Of the 57 cases, most of the patients (64.9%) were aged 3-5 years, with boys as the most prevalent cases (59.7%) and the most common complaint was pain (31.7%). Inorganic foreign bodies (61.4%) were more commonly found, and being frequently found in the right nasal cavity (49.1%). The duration of the foreign body in the nasal cavity and the treatment conducted on the patients were mostly not written in the medical records, however, no complications were found.Conclusions: A higher incidence of nasal foreign bodies can be found in boys aged 3-5 years. Inorganic objects and pain are the most common manifestations, although the condition of all patients has been improved. Raising awareness about foreign body cases to the community, especially the parents, is the key to preventing these cases from occurring.
