EAR TESTS GIVEN
53 AT WHEATLEY
Ninety Pupils Are Found to
Be Victims of Hearing
ImperfectionS.

Ninety Of the $50 Wheatley School
pupils whose ears were tested under the
sponsorship of the Speech Reading
Club of Washington Tuesday were
found to be victims of hearing imper-
feetions ranging from slight impair
ments to more serious degrees OF deaf
ness warranting immediate medical
attention.
The test was given to 40 children a.
time with an apparatus including a
monograph with individual ear tele-
phone receivers. Testing one ear at a
time. the youngsters were given printed
blank forms on which they were in
structed to write columns of numerals
as they were pronounced through the
headsets from the photograph record.
As each series of numerals pronounced
was fainter in volume than those which
preceded it and the length of column a
child was able to write brought about
results from which the PERCENTAGE of
hearing loss in each ear was compiled.
