Abstract

This case study shows the consequences of a late diagnosis and treatment of a child suffering from a chronic, recurrent inflammation of the middle ear, resulting in conductive, fluctuating, mild hearing loss. The article presents the child’s communication and psychological problems stemming from hearing difficulties. This study uses three diagnostic tools in order to comprehensively assess the individual developmental spheres of the boy. The final part of the article contains conclusions and postulates regarding the importance of early therapeutic care.
