Hearing Health

I can't believe reports this week that middle ear hearing loss is still a major health problem for young indigenous persons. This has been an issue for years now and should have been eradicated by 2016.

How was it that this problem well known to school teachers in the remote communities has gone on being an issue.  The medical fix is usually a simple application  of grommets to the ears.

What are we doing in the health service delivery to indigenous youngsters?

Get with it state and territory governments and the federal government.  There is too much talk and not enough action.


Enough already!
