Ear disease that contributes to conductive hearing loss is one of the most common childhood illnesses. It occurs among some groups of children more often than others. Indigenous children in Australia have among the highest prevalence of any group in the world. It also occurs among non-Indigenous children, though at lower rates. Among both groups a history of conductive hearing loss can contribute to later auditory processing problems. This book describes research and response strategies that are relevant to all groups. Much of the formal research has been carried out among Indigenous children. The greatest burden of ear disease as well as the resulting
educational, economic and other consequences occurs among disadvantaged minorities in developing countries. However, the state of audiological services in these nations is such that even the deaf populations have minimal services they can access and awareness of the outcomes described in this book is nonexistent. It is only the first world health and research infrastructure in Australia that has enabled the description of the problem.
