The development of hearing in newborn infants with hearing loss critically depends on education after a diagnosis has been made. Using a hearing ability scoring system, we evaluated the development of hearing in 11 patients (including 6 patients with multiple handicaps) who were diagnosed with hearing impairment by a neonatal hearing screening test between 2002 and 2003. The score of hearing development was lower for children with hearing impairment and multiple disabilities than for children who only had hearing impairment. However, proper educational programs and hearing aids benefited hearing development in children with multiple handicaps. In the 6 children with multiple disabilities, hearing development in patients with Down syndrome or congenital cytomegaloviral infection was faster than that in patients with auditory neuropathy. Since some newborn infants with hearing loss show an unpredictable fluctuation in hearing even one year after birth or the development of communication disorders like infantile autism, educational programs and hearing aids appropriate to the physical and mental conditions of the patients are critical.
