Effects of recurrent otitis media in infancy on auditory perception and speech
Žargi, Miha, 1946- ; Hočevar-Boltežar, Irena
Introduction: Recurrent otitis media is commonly encountered in children before 3 years of age. Conductive hearing loss up to 40 dB is frequently associated with suppurative otitis media. Good ...hearing is believed to be critical to the development of normal language. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of recurrent otitis media on auditory perception and speech. Patients and Methods: The experimental group consisted of 33 children with a history of at least three episodes of acute otitis media before 2 years ot age. A control group of 29 children experienced one or fewer episodes of otitis media in the first 2 years of age. At the time of investigation, all children were 8 to 10 years of age and had attended sirnilar pre-school, kindergarten, and elementary school programs. None showed evidence of mental retardation nor behavioral or emotional disorders. Speech ability was assessed by a battery of tests specific for Slovene language. Subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were used as well as the Reading and Writing Test. Results: Auditory perception disorders were evident in 88 per cent of children investigated who had a history of at least three episodes of otitis media by 2 years of age. Decreased auditory stimulation during the time of auditory maturation could prevent the development of these functions completely. No statistically significant differences were observed in the development of articulation. These observations underscore the importance of early management of recurrent otitis media during the first 2 years of age.
