Impedance Audiometry in Serous Otitis Media
Description:
Effectiveness of impedance audiometry in diagnosing serous otitis media in children was examined in this study. The impedance test battery was performed on seventy-six ears of pre-myringotomy children (Mean age: 4.6 years). The status of the middle ear was assessed by the operating physician during surgery, and impedance results were correlated with the operative findings.
Middle ear effusion was the variable that most influenced impedance results. Acoustic reflex threshold and tympanometry wer…
