The effect of otitis media on emerging language was examined in a group of 1-year-olds. Based on pneumatic otoscopy, 15 babies were considered to be free of otitis media in both ears at 80% or more of their first year medical visits (otitis free) and 12 infants had bilaterally positive otoscopy results at 30% or more of their visits (otitis positive). Outcome measures at 1 year included the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (Bayley, 1969) and the Sequenced Inventory of Communication Development (SICD; Hedrick, Prather, & Tobin, 1984) Receptive and Expressive scales. No significant differences were detected on either the Bayley or the SICD Receptive scale. However, the otitis positive group exhibited significantly lower expressive language scores than the otitis free group, suggesting that impairments in language expression may be evident as early as 1 year of age in children with otitis media.
在一组1岁儿童中研究了中耳炎对新兴语言能力的影响。根据气导耳镜检查结果，15名婴儿在其第一年就诊次数的80%或更多时间内双耳均被认为无中耳炎（无中耳炎组），12名婴儿在其就诊次数的30%或更多时间内双耳耳镜检查结果呈阳性（中耳炎组）。1岁时的结果测量包括贝利婴儿发育量表（贝利，1969年）和沟通发展顺序量表（SICD；赫德里克、普拉瑟和托宾，1984年）的接受和表达量表。在贝利量表或SICD接受量表上均未检测到显著差异。然而，中耳炎组的表达性语言得分显著低于无中耳炎组，这表明中耳炎患儿在1岁时可能就已出现明显的语言表达障碍。
