Effects of Air Bubble in the Ear Canal for Underwater Hearing

The Journal of the Marine Acoustics Society of Japan, 2004
In order to examine the effects of air bubble in the ear canal for underwater hearing, detailed measurement of minimum audible field (MAF) in audio frequency (50Hz-8kHz) and comparison of loudness were carried out at two conditions as below, 1) the air bubble remains in the ear canal and 2) the ear canal is filled with water. As the result, in the high

Peri‐implantitis—Is it mainly a clinician‐initiated complication of implant therapy?

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
