OBJECTIVE Tympanometry is a relatively simple method to assess middle ear (ME) status and pressure. Daily, serial tympanometric measurements may contain information on the constitutional efficiency of Eustachian tube function (ETF). A study was conducted to determine family compliance with an effort-intensive protocol that requires daily tympanometry done on each child, daily symptom recording ...

UNLABELLED Tympanometry plays a fundamental role in the identification of middle ear alterations, which are frequent in the population with cleft lip and palate. AIM do a retrospective analysis of the otoscopy and tympanometric exams of infants with cleft lip and palate who were not operated. Retrospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS we analyzed 273 charts from infants with cleft lip and p...

Introduction: Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a well-known co-morbid manifestation of inflammatory diseases the nasal cavity. Allergic rhinitis (AR) common chronic condition that causes significant amount disease burden in population. However, studies on ETD patients with AR are still very limited. Materials and methods: A total 60 healthy participated prospective comparative study. All su...

This review critically evaluates the existing literature examining two possible characteristics of EVA, an audiometric air-bone gap and a low resonant frequency of the middle ear. 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...
