Ear infection (otitis media) is a major problem amongst children living in remote Australian communities. Medical treatment often fails, and ear nose and throat surgeons are called upon to provide surgical care. This clinical trial will provide surgeons with evidence so that they can recommend the best possible operation for children living in desert and tropical regions, most of whom are indigenous, to improve hearing and reduce the prevalence of ear infection and discharging ears.

耳部感染（中耳炎）是生活在澳大利亚偏远社区的儿童的一个主要问题。医学治疗经常失败，耳鼻喉外科医生被要求提供外科护理。这项临床试验将为外科医生提供证据，以便他们能够为生活在沙漠和热带地区的儿童（其中大多数是土著）推荐最佳手术，以改善听力并减少耳部感染和耳部脱落的流行。
