This study was designed to explore the relation between language and/or verbal ability and reduced auditory acuity at discrete frequencies and various frequency bands in children with high frequency impairment. Correlations reveal significant relationships between reduced hearing levels at 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, and 3,000 cps and lowered verbal ability as measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children.
