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 …

As state-mandated newborn-hearing screening programs are implemented across the
country, more newborns and infants are being referred for diagnostic audiologic …

Objective: The maturation of the external and middle ear in the human infant has significant
effects on the interpretation of measured ear-canal responses to acoustic stimuli. A tutorial …

Acoustic impedance/reflectance measurements were made at various ear-canal pressures
in 20 subjects with a clinical acoustic immittance instrument and an experimental …

The aims of the study were to evaluate tympanometry with regard to age and classification
system using two probe-tone frequencies and to provide clinical guidelines. Methods: Six …

Objectives: The primary goal of this study was to evaluate alternative tympanometric
parameters for distinguishing normal middle ears from ears with otosclerosis. A secondary …

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: Long-term effects of otitis media (OM) on hearing in both conventional and high
frequency (HF) regions in children were studied. Design: Children with OM were enrolled in …

Objective: This study examined differences between a group of normal-hearing Caucasian
and Chinese young adults on six tympanometric parameters. The goal of this study was to …

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 …
