Abstract

Clinical and sociomedical observations were made on 743 deaf children below the age of 10 years including 198 infants who visited the Hearing and Speech Clinic for Children of the Department of oto-rhino-laryngology, Teikyo University Hospital.<br>The following results were obtained.1) The number of infants referred from public health centers has increased since 1979 when the early screening system for deafness started at public health centers.<br>2) Since we had started our study on brain damaged children with deafness, the number of patients with cerebral palsy increased and their age of the first visit to our clinic became younger.3) Most patients with deafness due to rubella were born during the limited period between 1975 and 1977 when rubella prevailed in Japan.<br>4) In about a half of the children with acquired deafness, deafness was caused by meningitis.
