Article Synopsis
- Endolymphatic hydrops is linked to Ménière’s disease and can be assessed through wideband tympanometry, which measures acoustic absorbance in the middle ear to detect early changes.
- The study aimed to compare the acoustic absorbance behaviors of symptomatic and asymptomatic Ménière’s patients against healthy controls using tympanometry at different pressures.
- Results showed significant differences in peak pressure and absorbance values between the groups, indicating that wideband tympanometry can effectively identify Ménière’s disease and differentiate between asymptomatic and symptomatic conditions.
Introduction: Tympanometry is currently the most frequently used tool for assessing the status of the middle ear, commonly assessed using a single 226Hz tone. However, the use of the Acoustic Immittance Measures with a wideband stimulus is a promising high-resolution evaluation, especially in individuals known to have middle ear alterations, such as Down syndrome patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the acoustic absorbance measurements in children with Down syndrome.
Objective: To analyze acoustic absorbance using wideband tympanometry in neonates exposed to passive smoking during pregnancy.
Method: A study comprising 54 neonates in the control group (CG - unexposed) and 19 in the study group (SG - exposed) was carried out. Subjects were submitted to the wideband tympanometry test and subsequent analysis of absorbance of 17 frequencies.
