This book contains critical information for parents of young children, as well as adults who have long suffered with chronic middle ear disease. From reading this book you will understand the underlying cause of chronic middle ear fluid. You will learn what allergies are, and how allergies to pollen, dust, pets, molds and/or foods can affect the middle ear and also lead to sinusitis and asthma. You will learn which testing and treatment methods are most effective and why. Most important, you will learn how to find a doctor with the knowledge to help get your ears, or your child's ears, to stay normal - with 90 percent certainty. Included is a chapter for your doctor, with all the scientific explanation and 82 references to support the fact that chronic middle ear disease is a curable allergic disease.

Finally, physicians and parents alike have a compendium loaded with factual information to assess the role allergy plays in the causes and treatment of childhood middle ear problems. Until now physicians and parents of children who are trying to find the best way to treat children afflicted with ear infections, persistent middle ear fluid, or both, have had difficulty knowing when and how to utilize allergy management in the treatment of childhood middle ear problems. Dr. David Hurst’s scientific investigation summarized in this book is comprehensive, thoughtful and well written. Certainly we need to get this information out to all who care for children.

Dr. David Hurst is a true and relentless scientist, and brings his formidable energy and talent to investigate a crucial problem long shrouded in mystery: the role of allergy in middle ear disease. Children needlessly receive extended antibiotic regimens or are treated with ear tubes that do not address the real problems. This book is the culmination of decades of Dr. Hurst’s diligent and untiring work. In my view, it resolves the central question in middle ear pathology completely. I fervently hope all physicians who care for children will read Dr. Hurst’s book.
