Abstract
This chapter will share information gleaned from our combined experience in a specialist pediatric otologic practice, specifically focusing on middle ear and mastoid surgery, bone conduction devices and cochlear implantation, and highlighting and discussing the key issues. The diagnosis and surgical management of hearing loss and middle ear and mastoid disease in children require specific considerations. Challenges arise from age-specific differences and from the unique etiology and distribution of disease within the pediatric population. Optimization of outcomes requires an approach that not only takes these factors into account but also recognizes the interplay between clinical management and the developmental trajectory of the child.
