For many otologists and audiologists, otosclerosis is not a puzzling condition anymore.
Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures have provided a vast number of patients …

Screening and diagnosis of hearing problems in the pediatric population demands a high
degree of clinical test performance for detection of middle ear problems. All audiologic tests …

Objective: Reflectance measured in the ear canal offers a noninvasive method to monitor the
acoustic properties of the middle ear, and few systematic measurements exist on the effects …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Compare the accuracy of wideband acoustic transfer
functions (WATFs) measured in the ear canal at ambient pressure to methods currently …

Objectives: Wideband reflectance (WBR) is a middle ear analysis technique that quantifies
frequency-specific sound conduction over a wide range of frequencies. One shortcoming of …

Objectives: To develop normative data for wideband middle-ear reflectance in a newborn
hearing-screening population and to compare test performance with 1-kHz tympanometry for …

Objective: This study tested the hypothesis that wideband aural absorbance predicts
conductive hearing loss (CHL) in children medically classified as having otitis media with …

Objective: Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) test outcomes can be influenced
by conditions affecting the sound conduction pathway, including ear canal and/or middle ear …

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 …

Speech perception testing, defined as providing standardized speech stimuli and requiring a
listener to provide a behavioral and scored response, has been an integral part of the …
