Middle ear infection (otitis media) occurs most commonly in the first two years of life, especially among children who receive frequent exposure to it in child care centers.
Most babies will have had their hearing checked quite early on, however middle ear infections (‘otitis media') are common and can cause mild hearing loss that may last days or months.
However, a substantial degree of morbidity occurs either due to recurrent otitis media or bronchiectasis.
An ear infection - also known as acute otitis media - happens when viruses or bacteria and fluid become trapped behind your baby's eardrum. The resulting infection causes swelling, pain, and usually a fever.
Achondroplastic children often have middle ear infections (otitis media) because of abnormal drainage of the tube from the middle ear to the throat due to the abnormal skull structure.
