Abstract

Hearing loss commonly is associated with Down syndrome, but little is known about the development of auditory sensitivity in individuals with Down syndrome. This study had two objectives: 1) to determine whether an observer-based procedure can be used to assess the behavioral sensitivity of infants with Down syndrome, and 2) to provide preliminary information about the early course of hearing development among infants with Down syndrome. Behavioral measures of sensitivity were made in 16 infants with Down syndrome using an observer-based procedure. Ten of the infants were followed longitudinally between 2 and 12 mo of age. All infants passed a screening auditory brain stem response at 20 dB nHL during the study and completed screening tympanometry at each test session. The infants detected a 4000 Hz tone at levels ranging from 25 to 50 dB SPL; psychometric functions and thresholds for the tone were obtained. Infants with Down syndrome completed 80% of the test sessions they began, a rate similar to that seen in normally developing infants in the same type of study. Performance improved with increasing stimulus level, as one would expect, and thresholds were obtained from 15 of 16 infants for at least one age. The performance of...Continue Reading
