  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 To determine the incidence of ear diseases, otoscopic examination, questionnaires regarding parent's opinion on their child's hearing ability and history of recurrent middle ear infections, tympanometry, screening audiometry at 20 dB and 30 dB, were performed in 180 kindergarten children aged 4 to 5 years.

 The study showed that these four methods had some difficulty in making a diagnosis of those ears without abnormalities (specificity) but greater difficulty in identifying those ears with abnormalities (sensitivity). However, tympanometry was found to be more accurate and valuable as an adjunct to pure-tone audiometry.

 The false positive for these methods was significantly increased in the winter months from February to the beginning of March, as compared with the summer from June to July.
