Abstract

Children without an auditory brainstem evoked response can benefit from an auditory-oral hearing habilitation program. This study focuses on 31 such children enrolled at the Houston School for Deaf Children. Eleven had excellent auditory-oral skills, with language ability equal to normal-hearing children of a similar age, and speech easily intelligible to a familiar listener. A statistically significant factor associated with success was hearing acuity at 250 Hz. Other important factors included age at enrollment at the school, duration of enrollment, degree of parental support, and absence of middle ear disease.
