ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the responses of Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions by transient stimulus and distortion product in individuals with Ménière’s Disease. Methods Cross-sectional study a sample composed 60 individuals, aged 19 to 75 years, divided into two groups: group, 32 medical diagnosis disease, without other risks control group formed 28 cochlear loss Meniere’s age sex matched group. El...

stapedotomy. Materials and Methods: The diameters of prostheses used were 0.3 mm and 0.6 mm in two groups of ten patients. and 10 healthy patients as control group were included. Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) and DPOAE I/O functions were recorded. Results: Significant changes were detected at 2000-3000 Hz (p<0.001) and 4000-6000...

BACKGROUND A number of studies have documented the influence of cigarette smoking on hearing. However, the association between sex and hearing impairment in smokers as measured by otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) has not been clearly established. The aim of this study was to analyze sex-specific effects of smoking on hearing via conventional and ultra-high-frequency pure tone audiometry (PTA), and ...

INTRODUCTION The otoacoustic emission test is useful in monitoring hearing changes not yet detectable in pure-tone audiometry, as well as in monitoring cochlear damage caused by exposure to noise. OBJECTIVE To evaluate distortion product otoacoustic emissions in normal-hearing workers exposed to different occupational noise doses. MATERIALS AND METHOD This is a cohort prospective study perf...

OBJECTIVE To correlate the annoyance of tinnitus assessed by the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and on a visual analogue scale with the evoked otoacoustic emission test result in tinnitus patients with normal hearing. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Public tertiary hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The sample was initially based on a population of 80 subjects with tinnitus; 20 of them ...

UNLABELLED The early identification of hearing impairment allows for an intervention still in the 'critical' and ideal period of hearing and language stimulation. Pediatric ototoxicity is a very controversial topic. There have been variable percentages of ototoxicity cases in children with different aminoglycosides antibiotics. The main pediatric groups whom receive aminoglycosides are newborns...
