Abstract
The purpose of this study was to obtain a preliminary estimate of how otitis media with effusion affects the hearing sensitivity of infants. An observer-based method was used to estimate detection thresholds for 1000- or 4000-Hz tones for infants diagnosed with otitis media by a physician and for control infants. These preliminary results suggest that otitis media with effusion produces a mild to moderate hearing impairment in infants and that it may affect the developmental course of auditory sensitivity in the first year of life.
