title: [Hearing loss in childhood combined with abnormalities].
abstract: Hearing loss was diagnosed in 923 of 1712 children attending our paedaudiology outpatient department over a period of two years. 14% of patients with hearing loss had one or more associated malformations, affecting the musculoskeletal system, the heart, the eye and central nervous system. Metabolic disorders were also found. In addition to specific otologic procedures such as surgery and hearing aids a close cooperation with several specialists, in particular human geneticists, is necessary.
