By Maureen Penko Did you know that a child may be more prone to middle ear problems commonly known as an ear infection? When the ear drum becomes inflamed it is called otitis media. These ear infections are quite common in children because the passage between the middle ear and the back of the throat is smaller and the angle of the tube results in blockage of the tube and buildup of fluid behind ear drum. The treatment is antibiotics but if the fluid persists for long periods of time even after the infection is gone, this can pose a risk to hearing loss. Prolonged periods of fluid and repeated episodes of fluid (which may not be infection) can affect the way children hear and produce sounds, especially if this occurs between birth to 3 years of age. One of the treatments for what is called chronic middle ear problems is to have surgery at which time T tubes are placed by an otolaryngologist. The purpose is to keep the ear drum ventilated and dry. In time the tubes fall out. However, even after the T tubes have been inserted, and in some children they have more than one set of tubes placed, children may still have speech difficulties and language difficulties. Studies have shown that when the auditory information received is interrupted or distorted it affects the child's ability to sort out the sounds and understand the language, which in turn affects the speech and language production. In some situations the child may continue to speak more loudly because they have changed their volume to compensate for not hearing so well. So what are the signs of an ear infection or reduced hearing? • Child says my ear hurts • Tugging, pulling or rubbing the ear • Crying more than usual • Fever, flushed face • Inconsistent responding to sounds • Trouble sleeping • Sometimes drainage from the ear. An infant can have fluid in the ear and not show the typical 'I am not feeling good signs" If your child seems to not pay attention, is very distracted as compared to other times, or seems to tune you out, see your doctor and ask to have their hearing checked by an audiologist. How to talk to your child when hearing is reduced: • Get your child's attention first before talking • Be face to face in your exchange • Reduce the background noise; T.V, radio other noises • Use gestures to accompany your message • Repeat your message in simple, clear and reduced language. Once the T tubes are placed it does not necessarily mean that your child's speech and language will just develop clearly. Watch carefully for any signs or symptoms of ear difficulties and persistent unclear speech or language delay. Be your child's advocate and seek help early.
