Since the data provided in the literature concerning unilateral hearing loss in children are still lacking, we decided to study a group of subjects suffering from unilateral sensorineural deafness that has developed during the first 12 years of life. One hundred and fifteen subjects out of 150 answered a questionnaire that intended to investigate at what age the disorder developed, how it was recognized, its possible causes and a subjective evaluation of the difficulties encountered because of the hearing deficiency. In a second stage of the research, more detailed case history data were obtained on 30 children who satisfied more stringent selection criteria. The same children were compared with a matched control group of 30 normal hearing subjects, on speech in noise recognition, and sound localization skills. Results were correlated with the academic and educational progress and case history data. Our results may demonstrate that unilateral deafness represents a far from negligible handicap concerning the child's learning and relationship with classmates and teachers, specially during compulsory school life.
由于文献中关于儿童单侧听力损失的资料仍然匮乏，我们决定对一组在生命的前12年中出现单侧感音神经性耳聋的受试者进行研究。150名受试者中有115人回答了一份问卷，该问卷旨在调查疾病在什么年龄出现、如何被发现、其可能的原因以及对因听力缺陷而遇到的困难的主观评价。在研究的第二阶段，我们获得了30名符合更严格选择标准的儿童的更详细的病史数据。将这些儿童与30名听力正常的匹配对照组在噪声中的言语识别和声音定位技能方面进行比较。结果与学业和教育进展以及病史数据相关。我们的结果可能表明，单侧耳聋对儿童的学习以及与同学和教师的关系而言是一个不可忽视的障碍，特别是在义务教育阶段。
