Prevalence of Asymptomatic Otitis Media with Effusion in Children with Adenoid Hypertrophy and its Relation to Adenoid Size: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) occurs as a sequelae of adenoid hypertrophy. But most often hearing loss due to OME goes unnoticed in children. This causes poor cognitive development, inattention and thus poor scholastic performance. Aim:

The efficiency of otoacoustic emissions and pure-tone audiometry in the detection of temporary auditory changes after exposure to high sound pressure levels [PDF]
Exposure to noise has a harmful effect on the auditory health of workers. AIM: The main goal of this paper was to establish the role of pure-tone audiometry and evoked transient otoacoustic emissions in the detection of small temporary auditory changes ...

Bayesian Pure-Tone Audiometry Through Active Learning Under Informed Priors
Pure-tone audiometry—the process of estimating a person's hearing threshold from “audible” and “inaudible” responses to tones of varying frequency and intensity—is the basis for diagnosing and quantifying hearing loss.

Screening methods for age-related hearing loss in older patients with cancer: A review of the literature [PDF]
© 2018 by the authors. As people grow older, they may experience loss in hearing sensitivity. Age-related hearing loss may negatively affect the patient's quality of life as it may lead to social isolation. In older patients with cancer, hearing loss can

Auditory Evoked Potential Detection During Pure-Tone Audiometry [PDF]
Modern audiometry is largely a behavioural task, with the pure-tone audiogram (PTA) being the gold standard for evaluating frequency-specific hearing thresholds in adults. The nature of behavioural audiometry makes estimating accurate hearing thresholds difficult in infants and people with disabilities, where following instructions or interacting with ...
