Accuracy of automated pure-tone audiometry in population-based samples of older adults
International Journal of Audiology, 2023 Objective Automated pure-tone audiometry is frequently used in teleaudiology and hearing screening. Given the high prevalence of age-related hearing loss, older adults are an important target population.

Extended high-frequency audiometry in research and clinical practice.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022 Audiometric testing in research and in clinical settings rarely considers frequencies above 8 kHz. However, the sensitivity of young healthy ears extends to 20 kHz, and there is increasing evidence that testing in the extended high-frequency (EHF) region,

Extended high-frequency audiometry in healthy adults with different age groups
Journal of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery, 2021 Background It was well-documented that extended high-frequency (EHF, above 8 kHz) hearing test could be more sensitive comparing with the conventional measurement on frequency below 8 kHz, regarding the early prediction of auditory damage in certain ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Smartphone-Based Audiometry for Hearing Loss Detection: Meta-analysis
JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2021 Background Hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities worldwide and affects both individual and public health. Pure tone audiometry (PTA) is the gold standard for hearing assessment, but it is often not available in many settings, given its high

High-Frequency Audiometry for Early Detection of Hearing Loss: A Narrative Review
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The WHO considers hearing loss to be a major global problem. A literature search was conducted to see whether high-frequency audiometry (HFA) could be used for the early detection of hearing loss. A further aim was to see whether any differences exist in

Bayesian Pure-Tone Audiometry Through Active Learning Under Informed Priors
Frontiers in Digital Health, 2021 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.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Introduction Hearing loss (HL) is a frequent problem among the elderly and has been studied in many cohort studies. However, pure tone audiometry—the gold standard—is rather time-consuming and costly for large population-based studies.

Hearing Thresholds at High Frequencies: Age as a Predictor of Values
International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2023 Introduction The audiological evaluation has the main objective of determining the integrity of the auditory system. Pure tone audiometry is a standardized behavioral procedure that aims to investigate auditory thresholds to describe auditory ...

Novel cochlear implant assessment tool: Comparative analysis of children and adults
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 ObjectivesTo analyse the results of children and adults with cochlear implants (CIs) in pure tone audiometry (PTA) and speech perception tests. Tests were performed in two ways: using loudspeakers in the sound booth (SB) and with direct audio input (DAI)
