Myringotomy and tube procedures provide effective relief in the majority of cases of serous otitis media, but at least 14% of children are estimated to have recurrence. These children may be at risk for language delays that have been suspected of causing later language problems. After three months' duration of serous otitis, a language evaluation should be given the infant or child. Any language delay should be promptly treated with a home language stimulation program and, in more extreme cases, there should be a consideration of hearing aid use.
鼓膜切开置管术在大多数浆液性中耳炎病例中能有效缓解症状，但据估计至少14%的儿童会复发。这些儿童可能有语言发育迟缓的风险，而这被怀疑会导致日后的语言问题。浆液性中耳炎持续三个月后，应对婴儿或儿童进行语言评估。任何语言发育迟缓都应立即通过家庭语言刺激计划进行治疗，在更严重的情况下，应考虑使用助听器。
