175 children enrolled at the Dowling School were given audiometric tests. 3 classifications of these children were made: i.e., cerebral palsy, general defects, and acquired defects. 7 records were discarded as being unsatisfactory. In the remaining 168 cases, there were hearing losses of 15% in the entire good speech group and 17% in the entire speech defective group. The cerebral palsy group was more closely comparable to the congenital physical defect group and to the acquired physical defect group in incidence in hearing loss. In the cerebral palsy group, 14% of the children had severe hearing loss, 11% of the acquired defect group, and 0.6% of the congenital defect group had severe hearing loss. The % of cases showing hearing loss is greater than the congenital defect[long dash]good speech group,[long dash]21%; but in the defective speech groups, the % of cases showing hearing loss is greater in the cerebral palsy group, [long dash]29%. The incidence of hearing loss is greater in the extra-pyramidal defective speech group than in the pyramidal defective speech group in cerebral palsy. There seems to be evidence in the reactions of these children handicapped by cerebral palsy that not all of the hearing problem is due to the hearing loss per se, but is part of the larger picture of cerebral palsy.
