Description
“Ear Infections and Glue Ear” features Frank and Rose Kelleher with Michael Power (Paediatric Audiologist) discussing why some children get repeated ear infections or fluid buildup in the middle ear. Power explains how glue ear can affect hearing, balance, sleep, and speech, and shares signs parents should watch for. They cover causes—like pacifier use and poor drainage—and review hearing tests, natural drainage support through posture, and when ENT referrals or grommets might be needed to restore ear health.
