Hearing Loss Prevention Program in Kinshasa, Dr Congo
To prevent conductive and sensorineural hearing loss caused by recurrent suppurative otitis media, St. Joseph Hospital in Kinshasa, Congo initiated a program of hearing loss prevention with the help of the local Catholic Church.
Kinshasa has 10 million inhabitants with 70% unemployed. Poverty is prominent, hence chronic or recurrent otitis media with hearing loss as a consequence.
I have been going to Kinshasa as a volunteer to perform tympanoplasties and mastoidectomies in that program of hearing loss prevention. I am also training local ENT doctors.
I present here the result of my work.
