•Children will be eligible for the study to be enrolled in the appropriate cohort if they meet all of the following criteria:
•1. Aged between 6 months and 6 years old.
•2. Live within the greater metropolitan region of Perth (within a 60km radius)
•3. Identified during triage of initial referral to PCH for hearing or ear related issue
•4. Have been screened and identified as having ear disease as defined by; evidence of OM with effusion (OME) for >3 months; a history of 3 episodes of OM in the past 6 months; 4 episodes of OM in the past 12 months; or significant parental concerns regarding their child’s hearing or speech development.
•At least 20% of the study population must be of Aboriginal descent to ensure that there is adequate representation in the sample given the prevalence of OM in Aboriginal children. Therefore, there will be a cap of 96 non-Aboriginal children to be recruited to each cohort.. Once this cap is met, only Aboriginal children will be eligible to be recruited until the total target of 120 is reached for that cohort.

•All participants:
•1.Are a CAT 1 (urgent) referral. Treatment will be sought immediately for these children.
•2.The child’s legal representative (parent/guardian) is unwilling or unable to provide informed consent to participate.
