The subjects were 13 children with a hearing deficit that had been missed until school age. Six children with mild hearing loss were not aware of their disease. Of the patients with moderate hearing loss, five children could not be diagnosed though their parents had been suspicious at an early stage. Delayed development of language was observed in 9 children, and the vocabulary of all the patients was poorer than the mean of normal children. Thus, it appears necessary to diagnose hearing loss in early childhood for the prevention of speech and language delay.
