“…The incidence of middle and external ear diseases is quite high in normal children, so these problems may be overlooked in deaf children. In many studies, possible causes of conductive HL among children such as impacted wax, retraction, tympanic membrane perforation and otitis media were reported [4,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Elango et al [22] found in their study, children with additional conductive HL and middle ear disorders were present in 30.9 and 9.1%, respectively.…”

Objectives: The Ear, Nose, and Throat Department of Samoa is developing a school outreach service, and the aim of this study is to determine the pattern of ear disease among students attending a school for people with disabilities in Samoa. Methods: The study design is a prospective study of a 2-day outreach visit to a school for people with disabilities by the Samoan Ear, Nose, and Throat team who recorded their clinical findings (N = 28). Two Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialists performed ear examinations for each student and recorded their diagnosis and recommendations as per routine Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic protocols on a purposefully designed form based on the World Health Organization Ear and Hearing Survey. This information was entered into an Excel spreadsheet for descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Results showed that 39% (n = 11) of students passed their initial ear examination, while 61% (n = 17) of students presented with at least one ear condition requiring Ear, Nose, and Throat intervention. The most common pathology was impacted wax (n = 15 ears). Following the Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic outreach visit, 21 students (75%) no longer required Ear, Nose, and Throat or medical services, five students (18%) required a medical prescription for the treatment of ear disease, and two students (7%) were referred to the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department for further review. Conclusion: Students attending schools for people with disabilities are a priority population for the Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinical service outreach programme.

“…On the other hand, since children with severe hearing loss are not sensitive to changes in their hearing threshold, ear diseases may be easily overlooked. Therefore, few cases of conductive hearing loss, concomitant with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, have been reported in the medical literature (17).…”

Background: Otitis media is an important health care problem in school-age children. Moreover, the prevalence of allergic rhinitis, a major and common cause of otitis media, is increasing among children. Recurrent otitis media may occur without any noticeable symptoms and affect the auditory threshold (AT). Only a few decibles increase in hearing loss does not have the same effect on the hearing ability of individuals with different degrees of hearing loss. With this background in mind, in this study, we aimed to determine whether diagnosis and medical treatment of overlooked recurrent otitis media are associated with the educational achievement of students with sensorineural hearing impairment. Methods: The present study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted on 30 students (aged 12 -20 years) with bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment, AT above 30 dB HL in the better ear, and recurrent (2 episodes) middle ear infection over 9 months during 2012 -2014. The participants were examined regularly and received medical treatment when indicated. The mean scores of total average, Persian literature (eg, reading, writing, and spelling), and mathematics were measured to assess the subjects' educational achievement. Results: Based on the findings, the total average scores significantly changed from 16.2 to 17.2. Also, the students' Persian literature (from 16.8 to 18) and mathematics (from 13.8 to 16.7) scores were significantly improved. In addition, AT considerably decreased after
