On the basis of the examination of 264 children aged from 1 to 3 years after the acute otitis media, the survey algorithm was developed with the use of modern audiological and endoscopic equipment. It allows timely and accurately to determine the causes leading to the acute otitis media and hearing loss associated with the pathology of nasophariynx. It makes it possible to choose the optimum treatment regimen in each particular case, eliminating further development of persistent hearing loss and to minimize the need for bypass surgery of the tympanic cavity, and to ensure the harmonious speech development of a child.

Keywords: acute otitis media, acoustic impedancemetry, hearing loss, speech disorder, dysfunction of the eustachian tubes
