Tympanograms obtained from children with a specific reading disability were compared with those from a matched group of controls. A significantly higher prevalence of defects of the middle ear was shown in the test group.

This posterior system appears to be functionally disrupted in developmental dyslexia. Relative to non...

متن کاملCLASSIFICATION OF CONGENITAL MIDDLE AND EXTERNAL EAR MALFORMATIONS: CT STUDY
The authors used high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) for studying 52 congenitally malformed ears in 45 children between five and 10 years of age.
