The Effects of Early Bilateral Otitis Media with Effusion on Language Ability: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Grievink, Eefje H.; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v36 n5 p1004-12 Oct 1993
This follow-up study to the Nijmegen Otitis Media study evaluated 270 children (age 7). A history of otitis media with effusion (OME), even up to nine instances, did not have negative consequences for language performance at age seven. Intermittent, as opposed to more continuous, OME was not found to affect language ability negatively. (Author/JDD)
