Abstract Details10/09/2015 | 4:15 PM - 5:30 PM | Andrew Foster Auditorium 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.
