Conductive Hearing Loss in Autistic, Learning-Disabled, and Normal Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Donald E. P.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1988
Repeated impedance measures were given over five weeks to 11 autistic, 20 learning-disabled, and 20 normal children. A repeated measures analysis of variance led to the conclusion that fluctuating, negative middle ear pressure greater than normal characterizes both autistic and learning-disabled children with the more abnormal pressures typical in…

Systematic Procedures for Eliciting and Recording Responses to Sound Stimuli in Deaf-Blind Multihandicapped Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kershman, Susan M.; Napier, Deborah – Volta Review, 1982
To determine the auditory acuity levels and responsiveness of seven deaf blind multihandicapped young children, the authors developed systematic observation procedures that can be used by parents, teachers, and teacher aides. The advantages of this approach and suggestions for further work are described. A case study is reported. (Author)

Hearing Abilities of Down Syndrome and Other Mentally Handicapped Adolescents.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marcell, Michael M.; Cohen, Stuart – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1992
The hearing ability and related cognitive ability of 26 adolescents and young adults with Down's Syndrome (DS) and 26 matched subjects with trainable mental retardation (MR) were compared. Results revealed greater hearing losses in DS than in other MR individuals, especially in the high-frequency range. DS subjects with poorer hearing needed more…
