Quantifying tympanic membrane dynamics in otitis media using low coherence interferometry
… membrane (TM) is essential when diagnosing otitis media (OM), or a middle ear infection. OM is a widespread infectious disease in childhood, characterized by the accumulation of middle ear fluid, known as middle ear effusion (MEE). Loss of TM mobility assessed by pneumatic otoscopy may help …

Effects of Otitis Media on Word Recognition of 7 to 9 Year-Olds
Possible auditory deprivation due to otitis media (OM) must be investigated to appropriately identify and re/habilitate children affected by OM early in life. Word recognition ability of consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words was examined in 7 to 9 year-old children with and without a history of OM. …

Contrasting Purulent and Non-purulent Middle Ear Effusions: A Study of Otitis Media Etiology
Otitis media (OM) is a very common childhood illness. OM is the reason for the majority of pediatric office visits and antibiotic prescriptions for children. 80% of children under the age of 3 will experience at least one episode of OM, and a portion of these children will experience multiple OM …
