The relationship between previous middle ear disease, the presence of secretory otitis media, and phonology was investigated in 99% of a cohort of 387 unselected 7-year-old children from two Danish municipalities. All the pupils were tested with a phonological sentence repetition test called SITO, when starting school. The social and otological backgrounds were obtained from the parents. When using an analysis of variance, there was an association between phonology and tympanogram type in the better ear. No association with otological history or pure-tone screening was found. The correlation between tympanogram type and phonology was confirmed in a stepwise multiple regression analysis with nine possible confounding variables. In the statistical model, the tympanogram type could 'explain' 2-3% of the variation in phonology compared with the most important background variable, the social group of the mothers 'explaining' about 4-5% of the variation. About 15% of the variation could be 'explained' by the included variables.
在来自丹麦两个自治市的387名未经挑选的7岁儿童队列中，99%的儿童被研究了既往中耳疾病、分泌性中耳炎的存在与语音学之间的关系。所有学生在入学时都接受了一项名为SITO的语音句子重复测试。社会和耳科背景信息从家长处获取。在使用方差分析时，较好耳的语音学与鼓室图类型之间存在关联。未发现与耳科病史或纯音筛查有任何关联。在包含九个可能混杂变量的逐步多元回归分析中，证实了鼓室图类型与语音学之间的相关性。在统计模型中，与最重要的背景变量（母亲的社会群体“解释”约4-5%的变异）相比，鼓室图类型能够“解释”语音学变异的2-3%。纳入的变量能够“解释”约15%的变异。
