Abstract

We divided 53 cases of pediatric pychogenic deafness who were 6-12 years of age into a consultation group (CG) and a school hearing screening group (SG). Boy to girl ratios of both groups were 1: 3. The average age was 9.4 years in CG, and 8.9 years in SG. As for the diseased side of CG the bilateral to the unilateral ratio was 1: 1, in SG, all cases were bilateral. Type V in Bekesy audiometory was 67% in CG, and 63% in SG. The hearing level at six months recovered in 71% of cases in CG and 67% of cases in SG.
