A prospective study examined 280 children aged between 2 and 11 years with mild or severe forms of otitis media with effusion (OME). There was a 2-year delay between the first suspicion of hearing loss and presentation to an otolaryngologist. In approximately 50% of these children hearing loss was first suspected by the mother and in 20-30% detection was by routine screening tests. In most cases actual hearing loss was the subjective presenting feature, but in others, speech, language or learning difficulties heralded the problem. It is suggested that such data might be incorporated into a questionnaire for parents which may then be used to assess parental ability to detect hearing loss due to otitis media with effusion in small children.
一项前瞻性研究对280名年龄在2至11岁之间患有轻度或重度中耳积液（OME）的儿童进行了检查。从首次怀疑听力损失到就诊于耳鼻喉科医生之间有2年的延迟。在这些儿童中，约50%的听力损失最初是由母亲怀疑的，20%-30%是通过常规筛查测试发现的。在大多数情况下，实际听力损失是主观呈现的特征，但在其他情况下，言语、语言或学习困难预示了问题。建议可将此类数据纳入一份针对家长的问卷中，然后用于评估家长检测幼儿因中耳积液导致听力损失的能力。
