Studies from the Northern Territory and Western Australia have established that Aboriginal children experience earlier, more frequent and more severe middle ear disease than any other children worldwide. There is little information on Aboriginal communities in urban setings or those living in NSW. This study will fill this knowledge gap by examining the burden of middle ear disease, hearing impairment and consequent speech and language delays in urban Aboriginal children in NSW.

来自北领地和西澳大利亚的研究表明，原住民儿童比世界上任何其他儿童更早、更频繁和更严重地患中耳疾病。关于城市环境中的原住民社区或居住在新南威尔士州的原住民社区的信息很少。这项研究将通过检查新南威尔士州城市原住民儿童的中耳疾病、听力障碍以及随之而来的言语和语言发育迟缓的负担来填补这一知识空白。
