Popis:	We treated two 8-year-old females with psychogenic hearing loss of sudden onset. Both audiograms showed unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and no saucer audiogram. However, their auditory brainstem responses and stapedial reflexes were normal. The second patient also had psychogenic stricture of her visual field. The contradiction between subjective audiometry and objective measurements suggested psychogenic hearing loss. The external cause was a friend's shouting in her ear in the first case, and a thunderstorm in the second case. Both patients were treated with psychotherapy, and their hearing levels were restored to normal. The stricture of the visual field in the second case was also improved.
