    Abstract:
    One hundred and twenty patients (children) with Down's Syndrome were examined by the Audiological Dept. at 'Aghia Sophia' Children's Hospital during the period 1988-1990. Of these 73 (60.8%) were boys and 47 (37.2%) were girls. Their ages varied from 7-18 years of age with an average age of 14.8 years. Physical examination included otoscopy, tympanometry, and in some cases auditory brainstem audiometry. It is worth noting that a high percentage of these patients were unable to cooperate in this study, therefore making it obligatory to utilize objective measures for hearing evaluation.
