Conductive Hearing Loss with Present Acoustic Reflex: A Case Report
Acoustic reflex is a sensitive indicator of middle ear lesions when the tympanic membrane is intact and tympanometry is normal. Acoustic reflex is not usually observed in conductive hearing loss caused by disruption of the ossicular chain including ossicular discontinuity and fixation. Ossicular disruption can show at least partially intact acoustic reflex under a certain condition. Moreover, o...
متن کاملConductive hearing loss produces a reversible binaural hearing impairment.
Conductive hearing loss, produced by otitis media with effusion, is widespread in young children. However, little is known about its short- or long-term effects on hearing or the brain. To study the consequences of a conductive loss for the perception and processing of sounds, we plugged the left ear canal of ferrets for 7-15 months during either infancy or adulthood. Before or during plugging,...
متن کاملAutomated Screening for High-Frequency Hearing Loss
OBJECTIVE Hearing loss at high frequencies produces perceptual difficulties and is often an early sign of a more general hearing loss. This study reports the development and validation of two new speech-based hearing screening tests in English that focus on detecting hearing loss at frequencies above 2000 Hz. DESIGN The Internet-delivered, speech-in noise tests used closed target-word sets of...
متن کاملHearing aid benefit in patients with high-frequency hearing loss.
Patients with hearing loss limited to frequencies above 2 kHz are often considered borderline candidates for hearing aids. In this study, we used the Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit to access 134 patients' perceived benefit with a variety of linear hearing aids, some more capable than others at achieving prescribed frequency gain targets. We also sought to explore various audiologic and subject ...
متن کاملConductive Hearing Loss Due to Trauma
Hearing impairment is one of the most frequent sensory deficits in humans, affecting more than 250 million people in the world. Consequences of hearing loss include inability to interpret speech, often resulting in a reduced ability to communicate and delay in language acquisition. Untreated hearing loss may also cause economic and educational disadvantage, social isolation and cause stigmatiza...
