Abstract

The National Guide provides recommendations on the primary prevention of otitis media as a cause of hearing loss, and the early detection of hearing loss predominantly for children aged less than 15 years with some recommendations pertaining to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults. The diagnosis and management of otitis media and hearing loss is outside the scope of this guide, as other sources of advice are available.
