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 …

In an earlier article in this supplement, Rosowski et al.(pp. 9S–16S) define acoustic
immittance, reflectance, absorbance, and power reflectance (PR), and describe their …

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 …

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: This study compares measurements of ear-canal reflectance (ECR) to other
objective measurements of middle ear function including audiometry, umbo velocity (VU) …

Objective: The goal of the present study was to investigate the clinical utility of
measurements of ear-canal reflectance (ECR) in a population of patients with conductive …

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 …
