BACKGROUND
The Healthy Hearing (HH) programme at the Special Olympics (SO) revealed hearing disorders in between 16 and 40% of athletes. However, it is not clear whether these prevalence represents the entire population with intellectual disability. Therefore, this study compares the hearing status of SO athletes with an intellectual disability (ID) to students with ID at a special needs school.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The HH screening was performed in 637 athletes (mean age 27.1 years, range 9.7-70.6 years) during the 2008 German SO Summer Games - and in 198 special needs students (mean age 12.7 years, range 6.7-20.0 years).
RESULTS
Twenty-two per cent of athletes and 18% of students failed the HH screening. Approximately 60% of the total participants received recommendations for further follow-up and treatment without between-group differences.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of the HH screening at SO events are assumed to be representative of children and adolescents with ID in special needs schools.
背景
特奥会的“健康听力”（HH）计划发现，16%至 40%的运动员存在听力障碍。然而，目前尚不清楚这些患病率是否代表所有智障人群。因此，本研究将特奥会智障运动员的听力状况与特殊需要学校的智障学生进行了比较。
材料与方法
在 2008 年德国特奥会夏季运动会期间，对 637 名运动员（平均年龄 27.1 岁，范围 9.7-70.6 岁）和 198 名特殊需要学生（平均年龄 12.7 岁，范围 6.7-20.0 岁）进行了 HH 筛查。
结果
22%的运动员和 18%的学生未能通过 HH 筛查。大约 60%的参与者被建议进行进一步的随访和治疗，但两组之间没有差异。
结论
特奥会活动中的 HH 筛查结果被认为是特殊需要学校中智障儿童和青少年的代表性结果。
