Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There are controversial opinions about the incidence of hearing impairment of children and adolescents with Down's syndrome as an additional cause for obstruction in social and communicative live. Next to congenital diseases of the inner ear, functional limitations can often lead to conductive hearing disorders in patients with Down's syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS:The hearing ability, otoscopic and audiometric characteristics of 115 patients aged 3.2+/-2.9 years were analysed retrospectively over 42 months. RESULTS:A total of 86 children showed morphologic otoscopic peculiarities: transitory evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) were often non-reproducible, even in patients with normal hearing abilities(14.1% of cases), and were not evaluable in 32.8% of cases. Half of the patients showed hearing loss, 82% of whom suffered from a conductive hearing loss, 6.9% from a combined, and 8.6% from isolated sensorineural hearing loss. Hearing loss was first diagnosed when the children were 4.6+/-3.4 years old. CONCLUSION:The frequent occurrence of hearing loss justifies and requires an early and continuous pedaudiological examination. As a common screening examination, TEOAE is limited due to its cost, however, it fulfils its purpose as a means of distinguishing healthy children from those with possible hearing disorders. In most cases, objective and subjective audiometric methods must be combined in order to precisely define the hearing ability.
