An ear infection affects the middle and inner ear mainly. Hearing is affected because sounds cannot travel through an ear that is full of fluids. Constant fluid in the middle ear and chronic otitis media can reduce a child's hearing at a time that is critical for speech and language development.

Authorship of this classic was attributed to Huang Di, also referred to as the Great Yellow Emperor, who reigned in the middle of third century BC.
