Live Webinar: How to Improve Ear Diagnosis in Children
In recognition of World Hearing Day, MAICO Diagnostics and Diatecs are pleased to present an online webinar focused on improving pediatric ear diagnosis and care.
The webinar provides practical, evidence-based insights into the role of tympanometry in pediatric practice, supporting accurate middle ear assessment and confident clinical decision-making. It highlights how a one-minute tympanogram can confirm middle ear status in children with otalgia or fever, helping to reduce the misdiagnosis of acute otitis media.
The session also addresses the importance of identifying persistent otitis media with effusion (OME), a condition associated with an average 28 dB hearing loss and an increased risk of speech and language delays. Accurate middle ear assessment is essential for healthy child development. In addition, the webinar explores how tympanometry supports evidence-based treatment decisions, promotes responsible antibiotic use, and adds practical value in U.S. pediatric practices, including reimbursement considerations.
Speakers
Dr. Jeffery LaCour, ENT Physician and Founder of Compassio Medical Education, will discuss how objective middle ear measurements support confident diagnosis and optimized treatment decisions.
Dr. Gabrielle Merchant, Au.D., Ph.D., Director of the TAPP Laboratory at Boys Town National Research Hospital, will present evidence-based findings on the clinical and developmental impact of misdiagnosis and untreated hearing loss in children.
