Predicting the severity of conductive hearing loss and middle ear effusion volume using wideband tympanometry 🔬
In this Interacoustics Academy eWorkshop, we are delighted to invite Dr. Gabrielle Ryan Merchant, AuD, PhD, CCC-A from Boys Town National Research Hospital to present her latest research on the topic of how wideband tympanometry can be used to predict the volume of middle ear effusion and severity of conductive hearing loss.
The assessment of middle ear function is critical in the diagnosis of middle ear effusion, and understanding the extent of conductive hearing losses is essential for effective management plans of these patients.
Dr. Merchant's exciting research has explored the link between the volume of middle ear effusion and the severity of hearing loss, creating a new clinical application for wideband tympanometry.
This allows for cross-checking against audiometric information, as well as offering a predictive tool when limited behavioral information can be obtained.
Learning objectives:
✅ Describe the limitations of single frequency probe tone tympanometry.
✅ Explain the benefits and advantages of performing wideband tympanometry.
✅ Describe how wideband tympanometry can be used to predict middle ear effusion volume and severity of hearing loss.
