中国儿童中由药物滥用导致的听力损失
在中国儿童中由滥用药物导致的听力损失案例每年不下10000例。
在中国流行性的做法是,对于感冒、咽喉痛、一些普普通通的内科病大规模的使用抗生素,众所周知许多抗生素会导致听力损失。由中国国家相关报道文献中得知,每年有10000例中国儿童因为滥用药物导致听力损失。
谴责部分父母亲和医生
中国的父母亲特别相信他们的医生和抗生素,然而有些医生可能会接受药厂的回扣,作为回报会多开他们的药物。大概有1/4的抗生素处方可能没有必要。
“医生们必须清楚好多药物有损于听力,那种认为昂贵药物就会带来最好疗效的想法的父母亲们是不可取的”Liu Jinfeng,中国聋儿康复研究中心主任,在人民日报撰文指出。
需要更多确切的行动
中国政府正努力限制抗生素的滥用,但需要更多的管理。
在中国,大概24%的人口存在听力损失。7岁以下患有不同程度听力损失的中国儿童数量超过800000,每年有30000新生儿因为遗传、感染或药物而患有听力损失。
A good hearing is essential for the development of speech and psychological and social skills.
好的听力是言语、心里、社会发展的必然因素。

Medicine misuse causing hearing loss among Chinese children
Up to 10,000 new cases of hearing loss among Chinese children are found each year due to medicine misuse.
The Chinese population consumes antibiotics on a large scale to treat colds, sore throats and other minor common conditions. It′s well known that certain kinds of antibiotics may cause hearing loss. Annually, 10,000 new cases of hearing loss in children appear to be caused by medicine abuse, according to a Chinese national report.
Parents and doctors to blame
Chinese parents trust their doctors and antibiotics, yet doctors often accept kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies in return for prescribing these medicines. About one in four antibiotics prescriptions is considered inappropriate.
“Doctors should be clear about medicines that may harm hearing and it is highly undesirable for parents to think expensive antibiotics are the most effective,” commented Liu Jinfeng, director of the China Rehabilitation Research Center for Deaf Children in the People’s Daily newspaper.
More action needed
The Chinese government is trying to limit antibiotics misuse, but more controls are needed.
In China, 24 percent of the population suffers from hearing loss. The number of Chinese children under the age of seven years with some degree of hearing loss exceeds 800,000, and 30,000 newborns annually have hearing loss due to hereditary conditions, infections or medicine misuse.
