[Audiometric findings in legasthenics (author's transl)]

The audiological findings in 150 legasthenics are discussed and a review of the literature is given. The E.R.A. and Feldmann's dichotic test did not reveal any characteristic changes in our patients. However, a binaural audiovisual test using normal and synthesized stammered words alternatively showed a statistically significant impairment in recognizing the presented material in legasthenics compared to less gifted individuals of the same age. The results in normal children varied according to age. It might therefore be possible to diagnose legasthenics with this test in combination with an intelligence test in pre-school age.
