The article by Halkin et al (Pediatrics 61: 184, February 1978) alerts pediatricians to the prevalence of toxicity to dligoxin in infants and children. However, I am concerned that casual reading of the article will lead some to conclude that tolerance to digoxin does not vary with age and that a serum level of digoxin of 2 ng/ml is a "magic number." Neither of these conclusions is substantiated by the data in the manuscript. The findings of the series are clouded somewhat by the broad criteria used for diagnosing toxicity, the time at which serum specimens were obtained (eight hours after the preceding maintenance dose), and the lack of information about drug clearance as it relates to drug dose and the serum levels achieved.

In Infants And Children

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
