Language Learning in a Prospective Study of Otitis Media with Effusion in the First Two Years of Life.

Friel-Patti, Sandy; Finitzo, Terese

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n1 p188-94 Mar 1990

The relationship between children's early experience with otitis media with effusion, hearing over time, and emerging receptive and expressive language skills was assessed. Better language was found to be associated with better average hearing levels, suggesting that the relationship between otitis media with effusion and language is mediated by hearing. (Author/JDD)
