Pages 149-158 | Published online: 07 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

A multinational collaborative study on deaf children was carried out in 1977. The intention was to include all children aged 8 years with a hearing loss of 50 dB or worse, residing in the nine countries of the European Economic Community. Information was obtained on the prevalence of deafness, the distribution of mean hearing loss, aetiology and associated disabilities.

Nous avons effectué au course de l'année 1977, dans les neuf pays de la Communauté Européene, une étude concernant des enfants de 8 ans présentant une surdité de 50 dB ou puls. Nous rapportons les renseignements recueillis concernant l'incidence de la surdité, le pourcentage moyen de l'atteinte auditive, l'étiologie et les handicaps éventuellement associés.
