Background: Humans convey their emotions and information to one another through language. Delayed or poor speech can have a profound effect on the social and professional life of a person. Aim and Objectives: A study of children with poor/delayed speech in a tertiary care centre in western U.P. Objectives were as follows • To study the risk factors for congenital hearing loss in children with poor/no speech. • To screen them regarding their hearing status. • To analyze results in detail and compare with available literature. Materials and Methods: A hospital based prospective observational study was done from Jan - Dec 2019. One-hundred fifteen children were identified. Hearing screening was done in all of them by OAE testing followed by tympanometry and BERA wherever applicable. Results: Out of 115 children, 9 (7.8%) had normal hearing, 9 (7.8%) had central cause of deafness and 97 (84.4%) had congenital SNHL. 64% of subjects were male (p value- <0.001). 79% of them had an association with some risk factor during birth (p value- <0.001). 40.8% of them were first order in birth with a typical age group presentation of 2-3 yrs. 60.1% of the study population with SNHL had history of normal delivery at home. Conclusion: Improvement in the quality of antenatal care, obstetric services and postnatal care will reduce the number of cases of congenital sensorineural deafness significantly by reducing the number of high-risk babies. Moreover, the introduction of practice of universal hearing screening of newborns will help in identifying them early for proper rehabilitation.

Apropos to the article by Dr Bali, titled “Mupirocin resistance in clinical isolates of methicillin-sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus in a tertiary care centre of North India” (1), the authors have raised important issue of emerging antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. As per WHO, AMR lurks the effective prevention and management of an ever-increasing spectrum of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses. Novel resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening the man’s ability to treat common infectious diseases.
