דלקות אוזניים הסבר.

היי, האם OME וSOM אותו דבר? אני ידוע שSOM מתכוון לנוזלים שקופים באוזן התיכונה עקב בעיה בEustchian tube שנגרמת בדרך כלל מאלרגיה או שקד שלישי וכו׳ וOME זו דלקת זיהומית בדרך כלל נוזלים בצבע צהוב אבל נראה שויקידיה אומר אחרת האם אני טועה? Otitis media with effusion (OME), also known as serous otitis media (SOM) or secretory otitis media (SOM), and colloquially referred to as 'glue ear,'[34] is fluid accumulation that can occur in the middle ear and mastoid air cells due to negative pressure produced by dysfunction of the Eustachian tube. This can be associated with a viral upper respiratory infection (URI) or bacterial infection such as otitis media.[35] An effusion can cause conductive hearing loss if it interferes with the transmission of vibrations of middle ear bones to the vestibulocochlear nerve complex that are created by sound waves.[36] Early-onset OME is associated with feeding of infants while lying down, early entry into group child care, parental smoking, lack or too short a period of breastfeeding, and greater amounts of time spent in group child care, particularly those with a large number of children. These risk factors increase the incidence and duration of OME during the first two years of life.[37]
