| Summary, etc | Introduction: ENT surgeons may refer children with otitis media with effusion (OME) to audiology for<br/>consideration of hearing aids. They are an option for the treatment of OME, but are only effective if the<br/>child actually wears them. Our study investigated what proportion of children referred for hearing aids<br/>actually receive them, and whether children use them.<br/>Method: Retrospective study of children referred to audiology from November 2013 to August 2014,<br/>including 70 children referred by ENT for hearing aids for OME, plus a further 5 children with OME given<br/>hearing aids through direct access audiology service.<br/>Results: During the study period, there were 202 referrals of children to audiology, of which 70 (34.7%)<br/>were for consideration of hearing aids for OME. Of these 70 referred children, 37 (52.9%) were not fitted<br/>with hearing aids due to normal audiometry (23), asymptomatic mild hearing loss (7), nonattendance<br/>(3), clinical decision to just monitor hearing (1), parental decline (2), and unrecorded reason (1). A total of<br/>38 children (including direct access patients) were fitted with hearing aids for OME. Majority (36/38) of<br/>children issued aids used them, 16 all day, 7 only at school, 1 only at home, 3 only when needed, and 9<br/>used them for an unspecified duration; 1 child's use of hearing aids was unrecorded, and 1 child refused<br/>to use it. 21 were fitted bilaterally and 17 unilaterally. 37 were behind the ear aids and 1 a BAHA softband.<br/>Conclusions: A third of referrals to paediatric audiology by ENT are for consideration of hearing aids for<br/>OME. Only about half of children referred to audiology for hearing aids for OME actually receive them, as<br/>by the time they see audiology the hearing loss has frequently resolved or is asymptomatic so that aiding<br/>is unwarranted.
