Abstract
A review of literature shows that there are only a few studies reported on congenital hearing loss following -venereal diseases (Karmody et al 1966; Perlman and Leek 1952 and William 1945). Our present study was to throw some light on this particular aetiological factor precipitating hard of hearing. It was a collaborative work of the department of Audiology and Speech Pathology in the Institute of Otorhinolaryngology and the Institute of Venereology, Madras Medical College, Madras.
