Djamarrkuli: ear health information [DVD]
Darwin: Milingimbi Community Secondary Girls School
The DVD consists of two short health promotion videos made by the Milingimbi Community Secondary Girls School as part of the Anglicare, Stronger Families and Communities Strategy. The intention was to inform the parents of young children, in their own language and in a culturally appropriate way, about caring for their child’s ear health. The issues addressed include: why children need good hearing; the importance of regular ear checks at the clinic; and the links between ear health and nose blowing. The first short movie is about ear health and the second focuses on child nutrition. They are in Yonglu language with English subtitles.

The ear DVD [DVD and workbooks]
Casuarina, NT: Menzies School of Health Research
The ear video/DVD was designed to assist health staff who conduct ear examinations on young children to diagnose and manage the many forms of otitis media (OM). Four images of different types of OM are presented in the video with diagnoses and recommended treatments. Health staff can work through a further 30 images of the ear and respond in a workbook to four questions: Which ear is it?, What can you see?, What's your diagnosis?, How would you treat it?.
A full set of answers can be found in 'The ear video workbook' - trainer version. The resource was developed by the Ear Health and Education Unit at the Menzies School of Health Research and the Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal and Tropical Health.
