September is nasionale Dowebewustheidsmaand, wat daarop gemik is om bewustheid oor die dowe en hardhorende bevolking te verhoog. <\/p>\n
Tygerberg Hospitaal (TBH) doen \u2019n beroep op inwoners om mediese sorg op te soek as hulle gehoorprobleme ervaar, of as hul kind tekens van gehoorprobleme toon. <\/p>\n
As hulle skielik hul gehoor verloor, in een of albei ore, moet hulle so gou as moontlik \u2019n dokter besoek. <\/p>\n
Die dokter kan enige probleme ondersoek en hulle moontlik na \u2019n oudioloog (gehoorspesialis) of \u2019n oor-, neus- en keelchirurg vir verdere toetse verwys.<\/p>\n
Volgens die 2021- W\u00eareld-gehoorverslag is sowat 12 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners (oftewel 20 persent van die bevolking) hardhorend of doof. <\/p>\n
Altesaam 3,6 miljoen benodig behandeling, waarvan minder as 10 persent enige behandeling ontvang.<\/p>\n
In 2023 het TBH se oudiologie-departement 7 752 pasi\u00ebnte bedien (3 298 kinders en 4 454 volwassenes), en 3 376 babas in pasi\u00ebnte het gehoorsifting vir pasgeborenes ontvang. Personeel het minstens 648 gehoorapparate aangepas (134 vir kinders en 514 vir volwassenes), en 56 mense het kogle\u00eare inplantings ontvang (35 volwassenes en 21 kinders).<\/p>\n
Jenny Birkenstock, assistent-direkteur van die departement spraakterapie en oudiologie by TBH, het ges\u00ea: \u201cDie verskaffing van akkurate inligting en die verhoging van bewustheid oor gehoorverlies is die eerste stap na bemagtiging en verbeterde toegang tot oor- en gehoordienste vir individue van alle ouderdomme.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Matodzi Mukosi, uitvoerende hoof van die Tygerberg-hospitaal, het ges\u00ea: \u201cTygerberg-hospitaal het die eerste kogle\u00eare inplantingseenheid in Suid-Afrika in 1986 ontwikkel. Vir byna 40 jaar was dit \u2019n vlagskip vir diensuitnemendheid in die bring van hierdie lewensveranderende intervensie aan ons bevolking. Sedert die ontstaan daarvan het meer as 1 000 pasi\u00ebnte baat gevind by hierdie tegnologie en ongeveer 25 persent van hulle was staatspasi\u00ebnte.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2019n Kind met gehoorverlies kan \u2019n verminderde vermo\u00eb h\u00ea om gesproke taal te ontwikkel, minder opvoedkundige opsies h\u00ea, swak akademiese vordering toon en beperkte opsies vir toekomstige werk h\u00ea. Gepaste en tydige intervensie vir kinders wat gehoorprobleme ervaar, kan hul opvoedkundige en werksgeleenthede in die toekoms verseker. <\/p>\n
\u201cKinders met gehoorverlies kan leer praat as hul gehoorverlies vroeg ge\u00efdentifiseer word, hulle gepaste gehoortegnologie (gehoorapparate of kogle\u00eare inplantings) ontvang en hulle inskakel by vroe\u00eb-intervensie-dienste wat luister- en gesproke taalontwikkeling bevorder.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Volwassene met gehoorverlies kan sukkel met kommunikasie, frustrasie, verlies aan selfvertroue en selfbeeld, sosiale isolasie, depressie, beperkte werksgeleenthede en verminderde vermo\u00eb om in die werksplek te vorder.<\/p>\n
\n Oudiolo\u00eb by die hospitaal deel die volgende wenke om doeltreffend te kommunikeer met iemand wat gehoorprobleme het:<\/b> \n Hoe om ondersteuning te kry<\/b>\n<\/p>\n \u2019n Prim\u00eare gesondheidsorgfasiliteit (jou plaaslike kliniek) kan kinders en volwassenes na die naaste spraakterapeut of oudioloog verwys vir sorg. <\/p>\n \n Vroe\u00eb identifikasie van gehoor- of spraakprobleme by babas en kinders is belangrik, en verwysing na \u2019n oudioloog of spraakterapeut moet nie uitgestel word nie. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September is nasionale
