Abstract
Although the complication of hearing loss rarely occurs in pediatric patients with mumps infection, the prognosis of mumps deafness is poor. Early treatment for hearing loss after mumps is difficult in children aged 5 years or younger because the diagnosis is not readily established. We encountered 3 early cases of mumps deafness, which occurred at almost the same time. Steroid therapy was performed in both patients with slight improvement of the hearing disturbance in one patient, but his hearing loss progressed after one year.
