AIM OF THE CHAPTER To evaluate the usefulness of the electrophysiological tests available, specifically auditory evoked potentials, in the audiological evaluation of pseudohypacusic patients. The main question addressed is: what contribution electrophysiological tests can make to the detection of pseudohypacusis and the determination of thresholds in the difficult-to-test population of mine wor...

The possibilities of hardware complex and its application to test the auditory function in children adolescents were studied. We also determined diagnostic value various solutions for hearing testing (relationship with results clinical pure tone audiometry). Examined group included 70 people. A comparison using via software Hearing Test carried out. studied screening methods have been focused o...

Introduction: The incidence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis is increasing in developing countries. Aminoglycosides are an integral part of second-line drugs, however ototoxicity is a major limitation for their use. This study aims to determine the extent of hearing loss in patients taking one of the commonly prescribed drugs for Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), Kanamycin, at a Gov...

The difficulty of accurately localizing the source of subjective tinnitus is well-known. Anamnesis and traditional audiological tests can often suggest a source if its origin as peripheral or merely central (or both). Therefore, several authors, such as Risey, Denk, and Shulman, recently proposed identifying the source of subjective tinnitus through the evaluation of the responses reported by p...

OBJECTIVE To determine if discussing cochlear implantation (CI) with patients with enlarged vestibular aqueducts (EVA) and their families before reaching audiological criteria for CI candidacy effects the length of time between reaching audiological candidacy and CI surgery, and to describe the universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) results and communication modality in this sample. PATIE...

The objective of this study is to determine the auditory gain, quality of life, audiological benefits, in bone-anchored hearing device users (BAHA). It is a retrospective and concurrent evaluation of thirty patients fitted unilaterally and seven fitted bilaterally for at least six months. Patients were assessed with audiometric testing and application of Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and Abbr...
