Early identification of pediatric hearing loss is vital to reduce long-term developmental consequences; however, awareness among future healthcare professionals remains limited in many low- and middle-income countries. OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge and perceptions of university students in Jordan regarding pediatric hearing loss.
No actionable change to clinical practice — this study identifies public knowledge gaps in Jordan and is relevant primarily for public health education planning rather than direct clinical management.
Assessing public awareness of paediatric hearing loss in underrepresented regions like Jordan informs the design of community education and early intervention campaigns that can improve detection rates.
