What is Otitis Media (Inner Ear Infection)?
Otitis media (inner ear infection) represents one of the most common health problems affecting children. More than 60 percent of all children will have at least one episode of otitis media before they reach the age of 2.
Treatment Options
The Ear and Hearing Center at Cincinnati Children’s provides optimal care for children with acute and chronic otitis media, starting with complete diagnostic testing. This testing includes audiologic testing as well as treatment. The full range of medical services available at Cincinnati Children’s – including allergy and immunology evaluations, CT and MRI scanning – allow for a comprehensive assessment of children with problematic ear infections.
