In an earlier article in this supplement, Rosowski et al.(pp. 9S–16S) define acoustic
immittance, reflectance, absorbance, and power reflectance (PR), and describe their …

Conductive hearing loss (CHL) is a type of hearing loss characterized by having better
hearing thresholds for boneconducted (BC) signals compared with air-conducted (AC) …

Objectives: Wideband acoustic immittance (WAI) measures such as pressure reflectance,
parameterized by absorbance and group delay, equivalent admittance at the tympanic …

Objective: The goal of the present study was to investigate the clinical utility of
measurements of ear-canal reflectance (ECR) in a population of patients with conductive …

Sound-induced motions of the surface of the tympanic membrane (TM) were measured
using stroboscopic holography in cadaveric human temporal bones at frequencies between …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine if absent air conduction stimuli
vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) responses found in ears after cochlear …

Objective: Accurate ear-canal acoustic measurements, such as wideband acoustic
admittance, absorbance, and otoacoustic emissions, require that the measurement probe be …

Children with chronic otitis media (OM) often have conductive hearing loss which results in
communication difficulties and requires surgical treatment. Recent studies have provided …

Current clinical practice cannot distinguish, with any degree of certainty, the multiple
pathologies that produce conductive hearing loss in patients with an intact tympanic …

Purpose This study examined the effects of age and gender on wideband energy
absorbance in adults with normal middle ear function. Method Forty young adults (14 men …
