December 2008
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the fluid present in the middle ear of patients with otitis media with effusion (OME) using tympanometry and hearing thresholds, to improve treatment strategies.
- It involved 40 patients (75 ears) between January 2007 and June 2008, finding that 82.7% had fluid present in the middle ear, with all tympanometry results showing type "B."
- The findings suggest a significant correlation between hearing loss levels, CT results, and fluid presence, indicating the need for better diagnostic methods using tympanometry and hearing threshold.
[Influence of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in children on hearing problem].

September 2005
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects hearing in children, focusing on 143 children diagnosed with sleep apnea through polysomnography.
- Testing included pure tone audiometry, acoustic impedance measurement, and X-ray for nasal airway assessment.
- Findings revealed that many children had abnormal tympanograms and elevated hearing thresholds, with potential improvements in hearing levels following surgeries like adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy.
