Abstract

Two children with a congenital Cornelia de Lange syndrome and a verified sensorineural hearing loss are presented. One could be tested by conventional audiometry, the other only with the help of the newer computerized electronic methods. A short review of some earlier reports on congenital hearing loss in this syndrome is made.
