“…It is known that the sensory deprivation resulting from changes in the middle ear, aggravated by the number and duration of disease episodes, can affect speech perception and make it difficult to understand, especially in noisy environments, and may even harm the child's development of language. 20 A study performed with children under two years of age, with normal development, also found high prevalence (68.4%) of tympanometry tests compatible with alteration of the middle ear (type 'B' and 'C'). The same study highlights the first year of life as the period of greatest incidence of middle ear liquid.…”

“…The same study highlights the first year of life as the period of greatest incidence of middle ear liquid. 20 Tympanometry consists of checking the mobility of the tympanic-ossicular system through the variation introduced into the external auditory meatus, being effective in the early identification of middle ear disorders. 20,21 Recurrent otitis and diseases that affect the middle ear are very common in children and infants and this is why tympanometry was used in the hearing screenig.…”

“…A privação sensorial decorrente da presença de secreção na orelha média, agravada pelo número e pela duração dos episódios da doença, pode afetar a percepção da fala e dificultar a compreensão, principalmente em ambiente ruidoso, prejudicando o desenvolvimento da linguagem da criança, do aprendizado escolar e do processamento auditivo 7 .…”
