Peer reviewedDahle, Arthur J.; McCollister, Faye P. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1986
Hearing, impedance, and otoscopic examinations were performed on 30 elementary school children with Downs syndrome and 30 children without Downs syndrome matched for CA and IQ. Results indicated that the children with Downs syndrome had a significantly higher prevalence of hearing impairment and otologic disorders. (Author/CL)

Peer reviewedWiden, Judith E.; And Others – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1987
In a study of 15 individuals (ages 15-21) with Down Syndrome, auditory brainstem response (ABR) detection levels were elevated, response amplitude reduced, and latency-intensity functions were significantly steeper than for a matched control group. Findings were associated with an impairment in hearing sensitivity at 8000 Hz for the experimental…

Peer reviewedNiswander, Paul S.; Ruth, Roger A. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1977
The ability of the sensitivity prediction from acoustic reflex (SPAR) technique to estimate hearing loss in 32 trainable mentally retarded Ss (adults and young adults with normal to profound hearing loss) was investigated by comparing measured pure-tone thresholds determined through tangible-reinforcement operant-conditioning audiometry with…

Peer reviewedElliott, Digby; And Others – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1987
Two groups of right-handed young adults with and without Down Syndrome (N=24) performed a rapid unimanual finger-tapping task under two conditions: alone and while sound-shadowing (repeating) single-syllable, high frequency words. Results provided no evidence for reverse (right hemisphere) lateralization of speech in individuals with Down…
