Past History of Otitis Media and Balance in Four‐Year‐Old Children

Objectives/Hypothesis To obtain normative data for a population of children 4 years of age with respect to standard vestibular and balance test protocols and to determine, in the absence of concurrent middle ear effusion (MEE), the possible changes caused by a history of recurrent or persistent MEE.
