Methods: The study population comprised 12 children, aged 2 to 12 years, who had been diagnosed with cancer and recommended radiotherapy with/without chemotherapy. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DP-OAE) and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions OAE (TE-OAE) were measured before treatment and after six months of treatment. Results: Out of the 24 ears, only two ears (8.3%) failed the TE-OAE and DP-OAE tests, and no significant change was observed after cancer treatment. Conclusion: Cancer treatment over a period of six months did not cause hearing impairment in this group of patients. 2015 artículo científico 2317-6431 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=391544062005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3915 Audiology - Communication Research application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Audiologia Audiology - Communication Research (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.20 |
