Paper Summary:

The paper relates that the ears in young children are extremely important not only for hearing, but in the way that they affect the other cognitive and learning processes. The paper discusses one of the most common and problematic issues in ear care in this age group that is the recurrence of ear infections. The paper lists the signs that indicate that a preschooler has an ear infection and discusses the treatments offered. The paper further reveals that while ear infections are usually treated with prescription antibiotics, many physicians are against this practice. According to the paper, preventative measures are essential in ensuring healthy ears.

From the Paper:

"The importance of good hearing and healthy ears in preschoolers and young children is an area that is emphasized by many pediatricians. The risk of ear infection is particularly acute at this age. The function of the ears in young children is also associated with the development of the child's speech and language skills. In other words, the ears are extremely important not only for hearing but in the way that they affect the other cognitive and learning processes.
"It should be remembered that hearing is one of the five senses by means of which the child experiences the world. In this sense, the young child needs the various senses to be functioning optimally in order to learn and experience the world normally."
