Abstract:

This is an article about children's deafness, it's ethiology, diagnosis, treatment, and educa­tional treatment. Here I have given a brief account about the deafness itself and it's in­dividual and social complications, also it's im­pression on the psychological well baing of the child. Then I have discussed, rather in detail, the ethiology of .children's deafness and I have given some statistics about the ethiological fac­tors involved in producing children's deafness. In the diagnosis, a paragaph has been de­voted to the advantages of early diagnosis and there is a talk about the parts of physician, parents and otoloryngologist in diagnosing the defect and the results of their co-operation.  At th_e end, without referring to the de­tailed technical instruments and problems, an account has been given of the ways of education of these children and giving them the chance of being a useful, active and normal members of the society.
