translate English to French: Measures of speech and language development have been shown to be negatively correlated with duration of time spent with OME in a child's first years of life.1,2 Fluctuating CHI may have a greater effect on speech discrimination than a comparable SNHI.3 The conditions that cause CHI affect the performance of various diagnostic tests,4 further compromise hearing in a child with SNHI and lead to delays in diagnosis and hearing and communication development options.5 Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), for example, can be influenced by debris in the ear canal and the presence of middle ear fluid.6 This critical review focuses on the child with fluctuating CHI and SNHI.
Il est possible qu'une déficience auditive intermittente de conduction ait des effets plus marqués sur la discrimination des mots qu'un cas comparable de déficience auditive de perception3. Les troubles qui causent la DAC influent sur le rendement de divers tests de diagnostic4; ils compromettent ainsi encore plus l'ouïe de l'enfant qui a une déficience auditive de perception et risquent de retarder le diagnostic et, par là, le recours aux options possibles pour le développement de l'audition et de la communication5.
