Audiometry HbA1C Sensorineural hearing loss Type 2 diabetes mellitus

A computer-mediated visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) screening procedure, the Classification of Audiograms by Sequential Testing (CAST), was used with 59 infants and young children who received both CAST screening and conventional audiologic assessment. Approximately one-third of the children had normal hearing, one-third had conductive hearing loss, and the remaining one-third had previou...

Auditory steady-state response (ASSR) audiometry is a commercially available tool that is used to predict behavioral auditory threshold levels. Its particular value stems from the technology's ability to measure frequency-specific responses in the background electroencephalogram to auditory stimuli presented across a broad range of frequencies and sound pressure levels. It is clearly of benefit...

The slow wave (SW) component of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) was recorded in eight young adult subjects of both genders who had normal hearing sensitivity and who exhibited normal behavioral temporal integration (TI) functions. Test stimuli were 500- and 2000-Hz tone bursts, with rise and decay ramps of two periods, ranging in total duration from 2.5 msec to 44 msec. The responses appe...

Pure tone audiometry indicates what hearing thresholds (dB) are required to just be able to perceive a tone at different frequencies (Hz). A pure tone audiology threshold at a specific frequency is the decibel level at which a sound is perceived 50% of the time. The decibel scale used in pure tone audiometry is dB Hearing Level (dB HL). The dB HL intensity scale is based on normal human hearing...

UNLABELLED In the elderly, the results of central auditory pathways behavioral assessments are considered to be difficult to read because of the possible interference of peripheral auditory pathway involvement. AIM Assess the efficacy of the central auditory function in elderly patients who do not complain of hearing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Case study involving 40 individuals within the age ...

Click-evoked otoacoustic emission (CEOAE) input/output (I/O) functions were measured in ears with normal hearing and in ears with sensorineural hearing loss above 2000 Hz. The low- to midfrequency CEOAEs obtained from the ears with high-frequency hearing loss were significantly reduced in level compared to the CEOAEs obtained from the ears with normal hearing even though there were no significa...

the aim of the current study is to investigate hearing function in patients with allergic rhinitis. fifty-eight patients with positive skin prick test (group 1) (116 ears) and    31 subjects with negative skin prick test (62 ears) as group 2 were included. pure tone audiometry at 250,500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 hz and immittance measures, including tympanometry and acoustic reflex tests, wer...
