[Value of preliminary hearing tests].

Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2003
Investigation of hearing with whispered and colloquial speech and also tuning fork tests are used routinely by many otologists. A different group of otologists find the tests inconsistent and unreliable. This controversy has probably developed because the audiometer has replaced the tuning fork in hearing measurement.

The Laryngoscope, 1994
AbstractThe management of autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) continues to challenge the otologist. Steroids and cyclophosphamide, the two traditional medications for this malady, are often associated with serious adverse reactions. In an effort to use a less toxic medication, the authors treated five autoimmune SNHL patients with low‐dose ...

Microwave-Induced Hearing: Some Preliminary Theoretical Observations

Journal of Microwave Power, 1976
Pulsed microwaves impinging on the head of animals and man produce auditory sensations. Theoretical analyses indicate a series of resonant frequencies occurring inside the head. This is supported by previous observations of characteristic oscillations recorded from the round window of mammals during pulsed microwave irradiation.
