- Acoustic reflectance measurements in otosclerosis: case study Letícia Cortez Neto Bruna Carla Cibin Renata Mota Mamede Carvallo Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi Sanches Salud Ear middle Otosclerosis Hearing loss Hearing tests This research aimed to analyze the reflectance measurements in a patient with otosclerosis. The patient, female, 51 years old; she complained of bilateral hearing loss and had a diagnosis hypothesis of otosclerosis. The following audiological tests were performed in both ears: tympanometry, pure-tone audiometry, and speech audiometry tests and acoustic reflectance measurements. Through acoustic wideband reflectance analysis, it was possible to observe an increase in reflectance, such as is seen in otosclerotic ears, between the frequencies of 500 Hz and 1500 Hz and to differentiate the left and right ear. Acoustic reflectance measurements have the potential to yield results that allow the differentiation between the two ears; thus, the use of the wideband acoustic reflectance is suggested as a part of the otosclerosis diagnostic procedure. 2014 artículo científico 2317-6431 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=391544060017 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3915 Audiology - Communication Research application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Audiologia Audiology - Communication Research (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.19
