“…They concluded that well-managed OME appears to have no permanent implications for auditory language learning. Webster, Bamford, Thyer, and Ayles (1989) came to a similar conclusion, as they could not demonstrate any significant differences between performance of children with a history of recurrent early OME and normal controls on several auditory, psychological and educational measures.…”

“…In most previous studies using similar test procedures (Brandes & Ehinger, 1981;Hoffman-Lawless et al, 1981;Jerger et al, 1983;Pillsbury et al, 1991;Webster et al, 1989;Welsh et al, 19831, cases and controls were selected on the basis of retrospectively collected OME data and therefore subject to recruitment biases. The current data might therefore give a more reliable impression of the association between OME and some aspects of auditory perception at school age.…”

The relationship between otitis media with effusion (OME) at preschool age and performance on five tests of auditory perception was studied in 89 school-age children who had OME histories well documented from participation in serial screening for OME at 2-4 yr of age. The tests used at 7.5-8 yr of age were: speech-in-noise, filtered speech, binaural fusion, dichotic speech, and auditory memory. A significant effect of OME was found on the speechin-noise test. No additional effects were demonstrated by this particular group of children. (Ear & Hearing 1994;15:224-231)

“…Although the failed audiometry assessments do not mean that these children satisfy the diagnostic criteria for OME, it does suggest that as a group they would be at increased risk of such problems which may contribute to learning difficulties7 8 and as such would warrant aggressive detection and treatment.…”

Objective-To examine the value of neurodevelopmental examination, fragile X testing, iron studies, and other screening procedures in children with mild to moderate learning diYculties. Design-A cross sectional case-control study. Subjects-A 34% random sample (n = 130) of children with mild to moderate learning diYculties born between 01/07/83 and 30/06/84 and resident in North and West Belfast. Controls were 130 children without learning diYculties matched for age and geographical area. Results-The prevalence of mild to moderate learning diYculties in North and West Belfast was 16%; 115 (89%) of the learning diYculties group and 80 (58%) of the control group consented to participate. Children in the learning diYculties group scored significantly lower in neurodevelopmental testing and were more likely to fail their audiometry assessment than controls. Children in the learning diYculties group were also more likely to be anaemic and had lower serum iron and transferrin saturation than controls. No cases of fragile X were identified. Thyroid function tests and urinary amino acids were all within normal limits There were no significant diVerences in anthropometry, head circumference, or formal neurological examinations. Conclusions-Children with learning difficulties are more likely to be neurodevelopmentally immature and iron depleted than controls. Iron depletion should be aggressively sought and treated. The role for routine assessment for fragile X, thyroid function tests, and amino acid chromatography is doubtful.

Parental views on otitis media: systematic review of qualitative studies

et al. 2016

• Otitis media is a leading cause of conductive hearing loss in children. • Parental perception of the treatment burden of otitis media can potentially affect their confidence and ability to care for their child. What is New: • We identified five themes to reflect parental perspectives: diminishing competency, disrupting life schedules, social isolation, threatening normal development, taking ownership, valuing support, and cherishing health. • Parents may perceive caring for a child with otitis media as disempowering and disruptive and with reoccurrence doubt treatment efficacy and their parental competency and develop fears regarding their child's development.
