چکیده

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 differences were small.

The 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...

[Normative values of middle ear resonance frequency in normal hearing adults].

OBJECTIVES This study aims to determine the normative values of middle ear resonance frequency in healthy adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty adult volunteers (32 females, 28 males; mean age 31.8±7.1 years; range 21 to 46 years) with normal otoscopic examination, audiometry and electroacoustic immitancemetry findings were enrolled in the study. The middle ear resonance frequencies were calcula...

Decrease in Middle Ear Resonance Frequency During Pregnancy

Many physiological changes occur during pregnancy. The aim of the study was to reveal whether there is a change in middle ear resonance frequency during pregnancy. A prospective case-control study was designed at a tertiary referral center. The study included 46 pregnant women at the third trimester (27-40 weeks) and 43 nonpregnant voluntary women. All the study subjects underwent pure-tone aud...

Low-field magnetic resonance imaging of otitis media in two cats: a case report

Otitis media is a common disease in clinical veterinary practice. Although low-field magnetic resonance imaging reports for otitis media in dogs exist, in cats detailed information is missing. Radiography is helpful in diagnosing chronic inflammation, but may be insufficient during the initial phase of inflammation. For this reason, this report describes the magnetic resonance findings in two c...
