Association between the self-insertion of nasal and aural foreign bodies and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children.
To investigate whether the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is higher in children presenting with nasal and aural foreign bodies than in the control group. ⋯ The findings of our study demonstrated a possible association between the self-insertion of nasal and aural foreign bodies and ADHD. Clinicians should be aware of the possible presence of ADHD in children, especially in those patients between 5 and 9 years of age who present with self-inserted nasal and aural foreign bodies.

Validation of the Mandarin version of the LittlEARS® Auditory Questionnaire.
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Mandarin version of the LittlEARS(®)Auditory Questionnaire and to compare the parameters with those of the original German version of the questionnaire. The results would indicate whether the Mandarin version of the questionnaire can be applied in Mandarin speaking children or not. ⋯ The Mandarin version of the LittlEARS(®) Auditory Questionnaire is reliable and valid as a sensitive tool to assess the development of auditory behavior in Mandarin speaking children up to 24 months of age. The Mandarin standardized values are helpful for clinicians to reach a preliminary judgment in children's hearing screening or for parents to monitor the auditory development of their hearing-impaired children.
