The progression of impaired hearing for high tones during childhood

SUMMARY. The “abrupt” type of high‐tone loss is discussed from the standpoint, primarily, of remote or true causes of the lesion of the basal turn of the cochlea usually regarded as the immediate cause of the functional impairment

Nasopharyngeal irradiation and hearing acuity: A follow‐up study of children.

The title of todays Symposium stresses the irradiation aspect of the basic topic, which is lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx. The data of the follow‐up study of school children reported above yield information about the broad aspect of the relation of nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissue to hearing acuity as well as information about the effect on hearing thresholds of treatment of this tissue by irradiation.
