IntroductionEarly detection of hearing loss is important to the management of infants and young children with hearing loss. Pediatricians are often the first to encounter a child suspected to have hearing loss. The objective of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of newborn hearing screening and management of hearing in among pediatricians. MethodsA cross-sectional survey-based study utilizing a validated questionnaire that was distributed to pediatricians in single tertiary academic health care institution that aims to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes related to children with hearing loss and newborn hearing screening. ResultsA total of 67 pediatricians agreed to participate and were involved in our study. Mean age was 35 years and 44.1% were males. The majority (79.4%) thought it was very important to have a newborn hearing screening program. However, two-thirds (64.7%) were unsure that there is a universal hearing screening program in the country. Never the less, the majority of the respondents (75%) were at least somewhat confident in explaining the hearing screening program process in our institution. There was a gap in the knowledge of our pediatricians with regard to the process of dealing with a newborn who failed screening program and the candidacy for cochlear implants. Also, some participants were unsure whether to refer a child with hearing impairment to an otolaryngologist or not. Most of the participants thought that physicians need more information related to permanent hearing loss. ConclusionThere are gaps in Pediatricians knowledge and awareness towards hearing loss assessment and management in newborns. This likely requires further academic collaboration between specialties to improve the care of newborns. Future research should focus on the auditory and speech outcome and rehabilitation awareness.
