Please cite this article in press as: Guest, H., e stem-response measures to avoid audiomet In Guest et al. (2017), we tested for associations between tinnitus and electrophysiological measures of cochlear synaptopathy in young humans with normal hearing sensitivity. Tinnitus and control groups were matched closely for age, sex, and audiometric thresholds up to 14 kHz. The groups did not differ...

Hyperacusis is a frequent auditory disorder where sounds of normal volume are perceived as too loud or even painfully loud. There is a high degree of co-morbidity between hyperacusis and tinnitus, most hyperacusis patients also have tinnitus, but only about 30-40% of tinnitus patients also show symptoms of hyperacusis. In order to elucidate the mechanisms of hyperacusis, detailed measurements o...

This paper presents a dual-channel fully integrated audiometric system, which generates the complete set of audio and control signals required for exhaustive audiometric tests. The system includes a novel signal generator, based on the direct digital synthesis technique, which fulfills the requirements of advanced audiometric tests. The proposed system faces two different problems, namely, the ...

UNLABELLED Otospongiosis is a primary osteodystrophy of the otic capsule that affects genetically predisposed individuals and leads to a progressive hearing loss. AIM To evaluate the applicability of audiometric evaluation during drug treatment for otospongiosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind study involving 26 patients with clinical, audiometric ...

PURPOSE Previous studies have reported increased audiometric thresholds in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS), compared with normative data. This study examines mean audiometric thresholds and tympanometric peak values in patients with XFS and in a control group. METHODS This is a prospective, nonrandomized control case study. Patients with XFS in one or both eyes constituted the ...

BACKGROUND Presbycusis is the most common sensory impairment associated with ageing and it presents with variability of symptoms. Physicians need to recognize early clinical and audiometric signs of presbycusis in order to render adequate and quality care to patients and reduce associated morbidities. OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical modes of presentation and the typical audiometric tra...
