Health Unit Advises Parents on Preventing Deafness in Children
Medical guidance stresses that deafness in youngsters is often preventable through awareness of causes. Acquired deafness, mainly from ear infections linked to colds and illnesses such as measles and mumps, typically develops gradually. The article underscores early removal of diseased tonsils and adenoids when recurrent ear problems occur and notes that addressing nasal and throat tissue reduces deafness more in children than adults.

Children who have car infections following colds should have tonsils and adenoids removed, usually in the summer. After the operation the child is confined to bed for several days and colds become less frequent. E. V. Thishote, M.D. Director Health District No. 7.
