70% Australia’s First Nations children in remote regions have chronic OM and disabling hearing loss by age 12 months. Primary Health Care must be appropriately resourced to manage this crisis. This OMapp is awesome! #earhealthforlife #WorldHearingDay

In remote communities those rates rates are 1. 70% have chronic or recurrent OM by age 7 months, 2. at ages 12 & 18 months 30% have disabling hearing loss (>30dB), 3. ~13% have perforated ear drums. Primary Healthy Care workforce in crisis. #earhealthforlife

#worldhearingday2023 I don’t want unilateral hearing - why should any child tolerate that? Not much data though ..

All the best and HUGE congratulations Kelvin Kong AM #earhealthforlife for Kelvin’s Ear Day 2023👏🏻🙏
