Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children experience some of the highest rates of Otitis Media and associated hearing loss in the world, with inequity fundamentally implicated.
Left untreated, these conditions are directly linked to serious and long-term complications. These include poor medical health, delayed communication and social skill development, challenging behaviour and learning difficulties.
Regular ear checks, hearing assessments and onward referrals to ENTs are crucial in supporting positive outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children with Otitis Media.
Empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to connect with health, cultural, and community services is another important part of supporting their children’s health and wellbeing.
