Abstract
Two case studies are presented about children (now young adults) with multiple disabilities who were fitted with hearing aids at an early age, but their use of the devices was discontinued. These cases suggest a critical need for long-term audiological follow-up for adults who grew up with multiple disabilities including hearing loss to ensure the best possible quality of life.
