Description

Speech and language development were evaluated in 15 children (4-8 years old) with congenital deafness due to middle and external ear malformation.<BR>The following results were obtained : 1) Retarded development of language exceeding 8 months was observed in approximately fifty percent of these children. 2) An especially marked delay in the development of sentence comprehension was observed even in children with slight hearing loss of 30dB level. 3) A slight disturbance was found in the segmental aspect of speech.<BR>It is concluded that language therapy emphasizing refinement of sentence comprehension and articulation proficiency as well as application of a hearing aid are needed for children with congenital conductive deafness.
