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 psychophysics of absolute threshold and signal duration: A probabilistic approach [PDF]
The absolute threshold for a tone depends on its duration; longer tones have lower thresholds. This effect has traditionally been explained in terms of ?temporal integration? involving the summation of energy or perceptual information over time.

Relationship of Pure Tone Audiometry and Ossicular Discontinuity in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media
Background: Pure tone audiometry is routinely used to determine conductive and sensorineural hearing status. Ossicular discontinuity is usually assessed intra-operatively.

Comparison between auditory steady-state responses and pure-tone audiometry [PDF]
Background/Aim. A more recent method, the auditory steadystate response (ASSR), has become more and more important test method due to difference that was found in previous investigations between hearing thresholds determined by the ASSR and the pure-tone

Monitoring Practitioner's Skills in Pure-Tone Audiometry
So far, there exists no standard, to evaluate a practitioner's skills in pure-tone audiometry. To narrow the gap, this article presents an artificial patient (AP) emulating various types of hearing impairment. In contrast to other solutions, the AP autonomously listens to real pure-tones in soft real-time, while taking into account elements from psycho-
