ABSTRACT

Four cases of children with Lyme disease having auditory hypersensitivity are presented. Auditory testing revealed no consistent pattern of problems except for the low loudness discomfort levels (LDL) found. Medical professionals who see children with Lyme disease should consider audiological testing to include LDL measures. Treatments for auditory hypersensitivity are discussed.
