According to a study published in South African Medical Journal, permanent hearing impairment is reviewed in over 180,000 babies with about 17 being born each day. To accurately diagnose the presence of this disorder, the public health sector has set up the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program.
Reason for low implementation of screening was concluded to be due to three factors. These include non inclusion of the screening procedure in maternity birthing package, lack of cost coverage by Medical Aid Scheme, and poor follow-up by the parents. An effort towards eradication of these challenges over the forecast period is expected to make South Africa a lucrative market for the industry.
