“…In 1990 a survey of the hearing and middle ear status of 180 children in the school found normal middle ear states in only 30% of children's ears, and 46% of the ears tested were found to have some degree of hearing loss (Nienhuys et al, 1994). As the prevalence of middle ear disease is highest in early childhood even the children with normal hearing by school-age could be at risk of communication and learning difficulties due to their previous hearing loss.…”

“…52,57,61,66,73 All other studies either reported a non-soundproofed environment or failed to report where the test was conducted. There appeared to be no consistent differences in the sensitivities and specificities of those studies that reported using a controlled test environment and those that did not.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, now part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as r...

“…Middle-ear related hearing loss in Australia (usually caused by otitis media) affects 50-80% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school children [42]. This creates feelings of inadequacy for the individual and adversely impacts their classroom performance [37,42]. Children with central auditory processing disorders also find it challenging when listening in the presence of background noise and reverberation [27].…”

“…Studies in the United Kingdom have shown that on any given day 15% of children in classrooms suffer from hearing impairments, which include not only those who have permanent hearing loss, but also those who have a cold, otitis media (glue ear), an ear infection, or hay fever [44]. Middle-ear related hearing loss in Australia (usually caused by otitis media) affects 50-80% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school children [42]. This creates feelings of inadequacy for the individual and adversely impacts their classroom performance [37,42].…”
