Otoacoustic Emissions in Young Children with Autism.

Auditory characteristics of children with autism.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to describe the auditory characteristics of children with autism relative to those of typically developing children and (2) to describe the test-retest reliability of behavioral auditory test measures with this population of children with autism. DESIGN Audiometric data were obtained from 22 children diagnosed with autism and 22 of their typica...

بررسی تأثیر عفونت حاد گوش میانی بر گسیل های صوتی گوشی گذرا ؛ راهنمای بالینی جهت آگاهی از سیر درمان بیماری

Introduction & Objective: Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common causes of acquired hearing loss in children with increasing incidence. In young children the diagnosis is restricted to otoscopy and tympanometry whereas evaluation of the auditory function is impossible due to noncompliance during pure tone audiometry. For this purpose, measurement of otoacoustic emissions, especially tran...

Auditory Neuropathy/Dys-synchrony with Secondary Loss of Otoacoustic Emissions in a Child with Autism

Otoacoustic emissions are commonly present in cases of auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony; however, otoacoustic emissions are absent or disappear in approximately one-third of patients with the disorder. Failure to identify AN/AD patients with absent otoacoustic emissions may result in improper diagnosis and management. The purpose of this article is to present fi ndings from a case of auditory ...

Monitoring and predicting ototoxic damage using distortion-product otoacoustic emissions: pediatric case study.

Young children undergoing cisplatin chemotherapy are known to be at risk for progressive sensorineural hearing loss. Early detection of such hearing loss is important for providing management options. However, in ill and/or young children, behavioral audiometry may not be sufficiently precise to detect the early stages of hearing loss. This case illustrates that distortion-product otoacoustic e...
