Middle ear resonance in infants: Age effects
INTRODUCTION The resonant frequency is the probe frequency in which susceptance is 0 due to the neutralization of the forces of mass and stiffness components that control the middle ear. This frequency can be evaluated by multifrequency tympanometry, and the normality value for adults ranges 800-1,200 Hz. Studies about resonant frequency in children are scarce. AIM Identify the variation of...
متن کاملAging and middle ear resonance.
Tympanograms for probes ranging from 250 through 2000 Hz were evaluated for 467 older adults. Measures of middle ear resonant frequency were compared across age groups (48-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-90 years) and gender. No significant age group trends were observed for middle ear resonant frequency. Middle ear resonant frequencies were significantly higher for older women than for older men, but the...
متن کاملThe effects of age on hearing and middle ear function.
Audiometric test results from 933 community dwelling males and females were presented to obtain the norm for each generation after middle age. Three aspects were adopted in this analysis; the cross-sectional aging transition of pure tone thresholds, the comparison in the self-perceived hearing difficulty among generations and the evaluation of middle ear function using multifrequency tympanomet...
متن کاملMultifrequency tympanometry: effects of ear canal volume compensation on middle ear resonance.
Sweep frequency tympanograms compensating for ear canal volume at 200 and -400 daPa were obtained on 106 ears of 53 subjects during four different sessions. Resonance frequencies were obtained and analyzed to determine normative data, resonance differences between the compensation methods, and the interaction effect of running consecutive tympanograms. There were no gender or interaural differe...
متن کاملWideband middle ear power measurement in infants and children.
Wideband middle ear power (WMEP) measurement is a method of middle ear analysis that may provide improved diagnostic capability over single-frequency tympanometry. However, normative data, information about test-retest reliability, and results in clinical disorders are needed for clinical application. Normative and reliability data on WMEP in children three days to 47 months of age were obtaine...
