This study demonstrates an increased risk of ear and hearing problems in people with intellectual disability as compared to the general population. Considering the unawareness and impact of these problems, it is highly recommended to organise systematic screening. Follow-up for diagnostic elaboration, therapeutic management and long-term guidance should be provided.
