The Philippines is an archipelago of 7107 islands with a population of about 89 million people. It has an annual birth rate of 2 million, which equates to 4 babies born per minute. Based on an estimated incidence in developing countries of 6 per 1000 infants with permanent congenital and early-onset hearing loss, there would be 12 000 such infants born each year in the Philippines.<br />
