Abstract EN
Objective : To study the effect of age on auditory threshold shift among children in two schools for the deaf.
Design : Prospective.

Method : Three hundred and eight-five children with hearing level of 75 dB were audologicaly tested within three years.
The study was performed from January 2005 to June 2007.
Result : Pure tone audiogram showed 6-8 dB threshold shift in the metropolitan group of 234 children and 4 dB in the non-metropolitan group of 151 children.
In metropolitan school one hundred and forty-seven (62.8 %) were found to be hearing aid users and 42 (28 %) were in non-metropolitan school.
