Early detection and appropriate treatment of hearing loss are essential to minimise the consequences of hearing loss. In addition to conventional audiometry (125-8,000 Hz), extended high-frequency audiometry (9,000-20,000 Hz) is available. This type of audiometry may be useful in early diagnosis of hearing loss in certain conditions, such as the ototoxic effect of cisplatin-based treatment, noi...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of an Apple iOS-based automated hearing testing application and to compare its accuracy with conventional audiometry. STUDY DESIGN Prospective diagnostic study. Setting Academic medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS An iOS-based software application was developed to perform automated pure-tone hearing testing on the iPhone, iPod...

Technology in the hearing aid industry is ever changing. One of the many features that may improve accuracy of hearing aid fi ttings and patients ’ satisfaction is the inception of in-situ audiometry, which allows the clinician to measure hearing thresholds with a hearing aid in the patient ’ s ear. Objective : The present study aimed to investigate the validity of in-situ audiometry measured w...

BACKGROUND Noise most frequently affects hearing system, as it may typically cause a bilateral, progressive sensorineural hearing loss at high frequencies. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to compare three different methods to evaluate noise-induced hearing loss (conventional audiometry, high-frequency audiometry, and distortion product otoacoustic emission). MATERIAL AND METHODS This was...
