Abstract

Nonorganic hearing loss in children can result from many factors. It is possible that some children show nonorganic hearing loss because of the stresses of past or on-going abuse and neglect. We report three cases of nonorganic hearing loss in children with a history of abuse. These cases suggest that among other causes, child abuse or neglect is to be ruled out when a child shows false hearing loss. Discussions with professionals knowledgeable of a child's home life should be a initiated when nonorganic pediatric hearing loss is uncovered.
