are very satisfactory. In the cases of impaired hearing in children
arising from nasal conditions and where the ear mechanism itself
is not damaged, we have found diastolisation to give, uniformly,

the general health of the child. It is in this connection that
diastolisation will be found to be a most valuable aid.
During the year two special aural sessions were held at the
School for the Deaf when all the children attending were examined
and arrangements made for any cases requiring special treatment.
The standard of the general health of the children seen at
the clinic was well maintained and satisfactory. There were only
a few cases which might be described as of sub-normal standard
and these patients were receiving the necessary care and treatment
from the school clinic medical staff."
