on the pathogenesis of otitis media. Bacteria, viruses and the role of the microbiome as well …

Objectives: The objective of this work is to determine whether there is a systematic effect of
middle ear effusion volume on wideband acoustic immittance in children with surgically …

The perforation characteristics and fracture-related mechanical properties of the tympanic
membrane (TM) greatly affect surgical procedures like myringotomy and tympanostomy …

Introduction The peripheral auditory system and various structures within the central auditory
system are vulnerable to blast injuries, and even blast overpressure is at relatively mild …

Hearing impairment is a cardinal feature of Down syndrome (DS), but its clinical
manifestations have been attributed to multiple factors. Murine models could provide …

The tympanic membrane (TM) is one of the most common routes to access the middle ear
and inner ear for the treatment of hearing and balance pathologies. Since the TM is a soft …

Background Inner ear disorders, such as EH, commonly lead to hearing loss and vestibular
dysfunction. EH is particularly prevalent in various inner ear diseases, including Meniere's …

Conventional impedance audiometry uses only specific tympanometric frequencies (eg, 226
Hz) and cannot test above 1500 Hz. As many hearing frequencies must be evaluated when …

Purpose Wideband-tympanometry (WBT) could give more informative data about the
tympanic condition than the conventional tympanometry. In the actual literature, the clinical …

Purpose More than 460 million people are impacted by disabling hearing loss worldwide.
