Fourteen children aged 6 years received screening for educational risk status and formal measures of academic performance. These children have been followed prospectively from birth for their otitis media status. Seven of the children were considered positive for otitis media in year one (recurrent episodes bilaterally), while 7 were considered otitis free. Academic status was related to early hearing acuity (as determined by repeated ABR assessment). Moreover, teachers' ratings of academic risk status were related to a measure at 4 years that examined the children's capacity to listen in background noise.
14名6岁儿童接受了教育风险状况筛查和学业成绩的正式测评。这些儿童自出生起就一直被前瞻性地跟踪其中耳炎状况。其中7名儿童在第一年被认为患有中耳炎阳性（双侧反复发作），而另外7名被认为无中耳炎。学业状况与早期听力敏锐度相关（通过重复进行听觉脑干反应评估确定）。此外，教师对学业风险状况的评分与一项在4岁时检测儿童在背景噪音中倾听能力的测评相关。
