Father Flanagan's Boys' Home received a $707,126 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), effective May 4, 2026 through April 30, 2030. The research project investigates the hearing loss, prognosis, and long-term developmental impact of Otitis Media with Effusion (OME), a common childhood condition characterized by non-purulent fluid in the middle ear space that can result in conductive hearing loss ranging from normal to moderate levels (0-55 decibels Hearing Level). The project deliverables focus on establishing improved diagnostic and assessment methodologies to determine the presence, degree, and symmetry of conductive hearing loss associated with OME in young children, where current behavioral audiological testing presents significant limitations. The research addresses clinical uncertainty regarding optimal treatment approaches—surgical tube placement versus spontaneous resolution—by examining whether cumulative auditory deprivation from OME-related hearing loss, rather than OME presence alone, constitutes the primary risk factor for long-term speech, language, and auditory processing deficits. Findings are intended to inform evidence-based clinical decision-making regarding OME management and to clarify which pediatric subpopulations face elevated risk of developmental sequelae.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
