Objectives
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between
perforation size, site and disease activity on HL in ATSI children in
the An angu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South
Australia. To date, no known study has investigated the levels of HL
associated with perforation location and size in ATSI children.
Additionally, this study aimed to provide an epidemiological snapshot of
the hearing levels and severity of perforations in this high-risk and
socio-economically deprived population.
