Info

Note: The 2007 JCIH Position Statement no longer includes in its list of risk indicators recurrent or persistent otitis media with effusion for at least 3 months. However, the JCIH recommends careful assessment of middle-ear status at all well-child visits, and children with persistent middle-ear effusion lasting 3 months or longer should be referred for otologic evaluation. Middle ear infection is a frequently occurring illness in very young children, second only to the common cold. “Recurrent” is defined as three or more bouts of otitis media within a twelvemonth period; “persistent” is defined as lasting three months or longer. PE tubes may have been inserted to address the otitis media with effusion (OME). Frequent episodes of OME may result in fluctuating conductive hearing loss, in turn influencing speech and language development. OME compounds hearing loss due to other conditions (e.g., sensorineural hearing loss) and should be monitored vigilantly. 14
