Hearing loss in Down's syndrome. A treatable handicap more common than generally recognized
Abstract
Significant hearing loss was found in about two-thirds of a series of 107 individuals with Down's syndrome. Hearing loss of that degree causes retardation of speech, language and intellectual development in normal children. Down's children are presumably affected even more by this sensory deprivation and without correction are prevented from reaching their full potential.
