Study designs include a cohort study and case-control studies. Overall, the evidence gathered provides consistent support that EVA should be suspected whenever there is a low frequency air-bone gap and low resonant fr...

متن کاملTest-Retest Reliability of the Components of Multi-Frequency Tympanometry.
OBJECTIVE Multi-frequency tympanometry and its components are extensively used to identify middle ear disorders. However, there are a limited number of studies that have attempted to determine its test-retest reliability. Thus, the present study attempted to determine the test-retest reliability of the different components of multi-frequency tympanometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS The resonant fr...
