Abstract
The underachiever or the child with a behavior problem may have conduction deafness due to accumulation of fluid in the middle ear. The initial treatment for this common disorder is medical, but it may be necessary to make an incision in the ear drum and insert a small tube to equalize pressure and put the eustachian tube at rest for a number of months.
