The relationship between hearing disorder and performance on intelligence tests among 28 children and young adults with Down syndrome was investigated. Intellectual and audiological assessments were obtained and evaluated in a multiple regression analysis. Performance on intelligence tests by individuals with abnormal tympanograms was inferior to that of individuals with normal tympanograms. Hearing sensitivity measures were uncorrelated. Findings suggest the need for an awareness of the potential impact of middle ear disorder when assessing intellectual functioning and the importance of otological care for infants and young children with Down syndrome.
对28名患有唐氏综合征的儿童和青年成人的听力障碍与智力测试表现之间的关系进行了调查。在多元回归分析中获得并评估了智力和听力评估结果。鼓室图异常的个体在智力测试中的表现低于鼓室图正常的个体。听力敏感度测量结果不相关。研究结果表明，在评估智力功能时需要意识到中耳疾病的潜在影响，以及唐氏综合征婴幼儿耳科护理的重要性。
