Study of Binaural Auditory Cortical Response in Children with History of Recurrent Otitis.

 Any type of sensory deprivation in childhood resulting from conductive hearing loss may impair the development of peripheral and central auditory pathway structures with negative consequences for binaural processing.  To characterize and compare monoaural and binaural auditory responses in neonates and children without and with a history of recurrent otitis.  The study included participants from 0 to 8 years and 11 months old, in good general health conditions, of both genders, divided into a control group, with no history of otitis, and a study group, with history of recurrent otitis.
