Background: Age-related hearing loss is a common chronic condition of elderly persons.
Low folate status has been associated with poor hearing. Objective: To determine whether …

Animal studies have demonstrated that unilateral hearing loss can induce changes in neural
response amplitude of the mature central auditory system (CAS). However, there is limited …

In this chapter the authors focus to thread their way through the often conflicting evidence
about the practical management of acute otitis media (AOM) at the same time as covering …

Objectives: To evaluate the predictive role of the audiometric Carhart's notch for the
assessment of middle-ear pathology prior to surgical intervention. Method: In this …

BACKGROUND: In the era of pediatric otolaryngology, a number of different methods have
been used for the diagnosis of otitis media with effusion (OME). Although there are divers …

Objective The assessment of bone conduction thresholds in patients with conductive
hearing loss is not a full measure of the function of the inner ear due to the weakening of the …

Objective: To investigate the changes in bone-conduction and air-bone gap in patients with
serous otitis media and to evaluate the presence of Carhart's notch. Material and Methods …

Objective The false sensorineural loss caused by otosclerosis due to stapes fixation is
known as the Carhart notch. To examine the changes in air-bone gap (ABG) and bone …

According to the literature and our research, Karhart's notch, as a local increase in bone
conduction thresholds at frequencies of 500-3000 Hz, is observed not only in otosclerosis …

Background The Carhart effect consists of a reduction in bone conduction thresholds
associated with conductive hearing loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the …
