We report cross-sectional findings on children's early experience with otitis media with effusion (OME) related to hearing over time and emerging receptive and expressive language skills on the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development Scale (SICD). Tympanometry and otoscopy on the same day are combined to diagnose OME. Hearing from 6 to 12 months is significantly related to scores on the SICD beginning with receptive language at 12 months. At 18 and 24 months, both receptive and expressive language are significantly related to average hearing from 6 to 18 months. Better language is associated with better average hearing levels. These findings suggest that the relationship between OME and language is mediated by hearing. It remains to be seen whether these relationships persist as the children continue to develop language.
我们报告了关于儿童中耳积液（OME）早期经历的横断面研究结果，这些经历与听力随时间的变化以及在《沟通发展量表序列清单》（SICD）上新兴的接受性和表达性语言技能有关。同一天进行的鼓室图检查和耳镜检查相结合以诊断OME。6至12个月时的听力与SICD上的得分显著相关，从12个月时的接受性语言开始。在18个月和24个月时，接受性和表达性语言均与6至18个月的平均听力显著相关。更好的语言能力与更好的平均听力水平相关。这些发现表明，OME与语言之间的关系是由听力介导的。随着儿童继续发展语言，这些关系是否会持续还有待观察。
