We were most interested in Gallaher and Maisels' comments on our paper. Although they mention that sensorineural deafness is an unusual event in their experience, they do not provide us with an incidence and also do not mention their method for testing hearing.

Most of our infants, were classified as high risk because they required ventilation for hyaline membrane disease. The ten deaf infants who were high risk and their ten matched controls were all ventilated.
