Otitis media and other ear conditions can affect a person's speech if they fail to hear words properly. People learn speech by copying others as they hear them. That is how you get your words, vocabulary and accents. If the person has an undiagnosed hearing problem it should be checked. A Neurological problem could be an issue too. As a child I had to have speech therapy because of nerve deafness I got from a childhood illness. In older people speech problems can come from aging deafness and the onset of a stroke or a stroke that has occured.
