Popis:	Results are presented from a five-year survey that involved auditory and visual checks of hearing aids worn by hearing-impaired children in a special education program. During the first three years of the survey, the aids were inspected on a weekly basis by an audiologist who visited the children’s special classes. In the last two years of the survey, hearing aid inspection was performed daily by the teachers and teacher aides and weekly by the audiologist. The greatest proportion of hearing aid malfunctions over the five years resulted from weak or dead batteries. The daily hearing aid inspection program reduced by one-half the average number of malfunctions per child.
