[Analysis of audiological assessment and hearing aid evaluation results from 13 deaf children].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate why the ideal objective cannot be met after deaf children are fitted with hearing aids.


METHODS
Complete audiological assessment and hearing aid check were done on 13 deaf children filled with hearing aids.


RESULTS
Two children were found to have otitis media with effusion and myringitis respectively. All hearing aids were matched improperly with inappropriate fit.


CONCLUSIONS
After deaf children are fitted with hearing aids, they should be followed-up on a regular base in order to monitor their hearing and to check whether they wear the hearing aids properly with a proper fit. All people in the field of aural rehabilitation for deaf children should realize the importance of the correct way to wear hearing aids with correct adjustment.
