Participants were 484 children (246 boys, 238 girls)\n attending Grade 3 (272, mean age = 8.25 yr., SD = 0.43) and Grade 4 (212, mean age = 9.28 yr., SD = 0.41) at 19 primary schools in Brisbane metropolitan and Sunshine Coast schools. Children selected for inclusion were native speakers of English with normal hearing on the day of testing and\n had no reported physical or behavioral impairments. The children were divided into three groups according to the number of episodes of OM since birth. The results showed no significant differences in speech scores across the participant groups. However, a significant difference in mean speech\n scores was found across the grades and the noise conditions. Although children with a history of OM performed equally well at a group level when compared to the controls, they exhibited a large range of abilities in speech comprehension within the same group. El presente estudio compara la\n capacidad de los ni\u00f1os de edad escolar, con o sin historia de otitis media (OM) para entender el lenguaje cotidiano en ruido, utilizando la Prueba de la Universidad de Queensland para Entender Lenguaje Cotidiano (UQUEST). Los participantes fueron 484 ni\u00f1os (246 varones y 238\n ni\u00f1as), asistiendo a un tercer grado (272, edad media = 8.25 a\u00f1os, DS = 0.43) y a un cuarto grado (212, edad media = 9.28 a\u00f1os, DS = 0.41), en 19 escuelas primarias en el \u00e1rea metropolitana de Brisbane y en Sunshine Coast. Los ni\u00f1os seleccionados eran angloparlantes\n naturales con audici\u00f3n normal en el d\u00eda de la prueba, y no ten\u00eda ning\u00fan reporte de alteraciones f\u00edsicas o conductuales. Los ni\u00f1os fueron divididos en tres grupos de acuerdo a n\u00famero de episodios de OM desde el nacimiento. Los resultados no mostraron\n diferencias significativas en los puntajes con lenguaje entre los grupos participantes. Sin embargo, se encontr\u00f3 una diferencia significativa en los puntajes medios de lenguaje en relaci\u00f3n a los grados escolares y las condiciones de ruido. Aunque los ni\u00f1os con historia\n de OM rindieron igualmente bien como grupo, al compararlos con los controles exhibieron un rango m\u00e1s amplio de capacidades en comprensi\u00f3n del lenguaje, dentro del mismo grupo.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3766\/jaaa.16.5.5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,22]],"date-time":"2008-04-22T23:54:28Z","timestamp":1208908468000},"page":"301-311","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Measuring the Ability of School Children with a History of Otitis Media to Understand Everyday Speech"],"prefix":"10.3766","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Tegan","family":"Keogh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Kei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlie","family":"Driscoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Louise","family":"Cahill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Hoffmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Wilce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prasanth","family":"Kondamuri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Marinac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2087","container-title":["Journal of the American Academy of Audiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/aaa\/jaaa\/2005\/00000016\/00000005\/art00005","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,5]],"date-time":"2025-02-05T23:12:25Z","timestamp":1738797145000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/10.3766\/jaaa.16.5.5"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,1]]}},"alternative-id":["1050-0545(20050501)16:5L.301;1-"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3766\/jaaa.16.5.5","relation":{},"ISSN":["1050-0545"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1050-0545","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,1]]}}}
