Popis: The aim of our study was to analyze the possibility of middle ear monitoring in children to predict chronicity and recurrence of otitis media. Material and Methods: Children aged 1 to 7 years of life were monitored by screening tympanometry and screening otoscopy during 2 years. Workup also included complete audiological examination: Impedance Audiometry, Conventional Audiometry, Oto-Acoustical Emissions and Brainstem Electrical Response Audiometry and Xray examination of paranasal sinuses, bacteriologic examination, spiral CT with 3D reconstruction of tympanic cavity and mastoid process. Oto-microsurgical intervention by modified method was done in children with recurrent and chronic otitis media. Results. Pre-chronic and recurrent forms were diagnosed in 36 % and 18 % of children with respiratory pathology, in difference from healthy group, 3% and 4 % (p
