Disparities among Different Countries in Access for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pediatric Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Age at pediatric CI was comparable across the CI centers compared in the four countries. This is encouraging given the effect of neuroplasticity on pediatric CI outcomes, despite different health care expenditures and delivery systems in the four countries. Improvement in care access for certain populations may decrease disparities in pediatric CI access worldwide.
