Otitis media with effusion (OME) or ’glue ear’ is a common ear problem in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. In OME, fluid accumulates in the middle ear. This can cause hearing loss and learning difficulties and lead to surgery. We will see if the use of a simple device in which a child blows up a balloon with their nostrils (nasal balloon autoinflation) helps resolve glue ear, improves hearing and is acceptable for the management of this important ear health problem.

渗出性中耳炎 (OME) 或“胶耳”是原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童常见的耳朵问题。在 OME 中，液体积聚在中耳中。这可能会导致听力损失和学习困难并导致手术。我们将看看使用一种简单的设备（让孩子用鼻孔吹气球（鼻气球自动充气））是否有助于解决胶耳问题、改善听力以及是否可以用于治疗这一重要的耳朵健康问题。
