Do GPs have the techniques for 'watchful waiting' in glue ear?

'Watchful waiting' for glue ear in children within primary care as a precursor or alternative to surgery is one of the increasing pressures on general practitioners (GPs) to limit outpatient referrals. An equipment survey questions whether primary care is properly equipped to 'watch', given the limited access to audiological equipment that might objectively underpin a decision on when 'waiting' should end.

Binaural hearing in adults with histories of otitis media in childhood.

There is evidence that children with recent histories of otitis media (OM) have poorer binaural hearing than children with no such histories. In order to investigate whether these deficits persist into adulthood, young adults were selected for auditory testing on the basis of responses to a questionnaire on childhood OM. Binaural performance measures were obtained for the binaural masking level difference, binaural loudness summation and lateralisation of binaural clicks. Although subjects with OM histories reported more auditory disabilities in adulthood, there were no significant differences in binaural performance between OM history subjects and controls. It is suggested that binaural deficits resulting from OM do not usually persist into adulthood.
