ME disease can also contribute to?
high frequency hearing loss in patients with and without CP
___? is the most common problem
Chronic Otitis Media with effusion (OME)
OME fluctuating nature may cause?
fluctuating hearing loss, baby/toddler gets unreliable auditory input
Eustachian tude (ET) function has 3 main functions?
Aerates middle ear

Treatment of OME?
Medical/medication
Pressure equalization tubes (PE tubes)
___ persists weeks to months after medical treatment of the acute phase?
MEE
