- Abstract
The article discusses a study which was conducted to examine diagnoses and correlates of middle ear disease among aboriginal primary school children in Perth, Western Australia. Analysis of records of hearing screening were carried out over a 6-year period at three primary schools. According to results, rates of middle ear disease and prevalence of hearing impairment were lower in older children. It is suggested that health authorities should continue to address identification and management of the disease in this population.
