description

Summary We report case reports of earwax with hypoacusia (1.8%) in 270 Saharawi children, aged from 6 to 13 years, for a two-month period during the summer according to the “Holidays in Peace” program developed in collaboration with a local non-governmental organization (NGO). Our values are lower than those of other authors due to an initiative of systematic checks carried out by trained general doctors and nursing on children's hearing in Saharawi refugee camps in the last years.
