In article presented the results of complex treatment of children with exudative otitis media. The prevalence of exudative otitis media (EOM) is especially high among children: according to some foreign authors, the disease occurs in 5-25%, while others - in 6.5 to 10.9%. This indicator reaches its maximum values at the age of 2-5 years, and by the age of 10, 80 children have a history of at least one episode of exudative otitis media. As noted by the authors, boys are more susceptible to the disease. In studies, a number of authors have shown that in Europe exudative otitis media is the main cause of hearing loss in children aged 2 to 7 years (during mass examinations of children of this age group, it is found in 30.2 cases). The high frequency of exudative otitis media in children - 4 times more often than in adults - is associated with anatomical prerequisites: a short horizontal auditory tube contributes to infection of the middle ear cavity.
