Abstract
The leading etiologies of deafness and of epilepsy are similar resulting in significantly more epilepsy in the deaf population. This study of 50 deaf epileptics reveals more males than females, a high rate of multiple disabilities, and a lower mean I.Q. The major finding was that 36 percent of the sample had serious problems with violent behavior.
