In traditional clinical test batteries, middle-ear admittance of a 226 Hz probe is estimated using ear-canal measurements in the presence of a reflex-activating stimulus. In the wideband (WB) acoustic immittance ART test used in this study, the pure-tone probe is replaced by a WB probe stimulus and changes in absorbed power are estimated using ear-canal measurements in the presence of the activator. The ART is defined as the lowest level at which a criterion change in admittance (clinical) or absorbed power (WB) is observed in the presence of the activator. In the present study, ARTs were obtained in adults with normal hearing using the clinical, manual method and with a new WB automated adaptive threshold detection method. It was hypothesized that the WB test would result in lower ARTs than the clinical test because reflex-related changes in power absorbance could be observed across multiple frequency bands in the WB test compared with a single frequency in the traditional test.
Design: Data were collected in a prospective research design. ARTs were obtained in ipsilateral and contralateral conditions using 500, 1000, 2000 Hz, and broadband noise (BBN) activators on a clinical system and on an experimental WB system. The bandwidth of the BBN activator was 125 to 4000 Hz on the clinical system and 200 to 8000 Hz on the wideband system. ARTs were estimated at both tympanometric peak pressure (TPP) and ambient pressure on the WB system. Data were collected in both ears of 39 adults (21 males) of mean age 47.7 years (range 23-72 years). Differences in ARTs among the three threshold estimation methods (clinical, WB at TPP, WB at ambient) were examined using the general linear model repeated measures test in SPSS. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons were completed with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Statistical significance was defined as p
Results: ARTs obtained on the WB system at TPP and ambient pressure were significantly lower than obtained on the clinical system. ARTs obtained on the WB system at TPP were significantly higher than at ambient pressure in the 500 and 2000 Hz ipsilateral conditions.
Conclusions: WB automated adaptive ARTs in normal-hearing adults were lower than for clinical methods when measured at TPP and ambient pressure. Lower presentation levels required to estimate ART in the WB test may be more tolerable to patients. Patients with ARTs that are not present at the maximum level of a traditional reflex test may have present ARTs with a WB ART test, which may reduce the need to refer for additional testing for possible retrocochlear involvement. Automation of the test may allow clinicians more time to attend to the other requisite tasks of a hearing evaluation and make the system useful for telehealth applications.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=J [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=292896

Réflexe stapédien ; Surdité neurosensorielle (SNHL)Résumé : Objectives: This study compared the measurement of the acoustic stapedius reflex threshold (ART) obtained using a traditional method with that obtained using an automated adaptive wideband (AAW) method. Participants included three groups of adults with normal hearing (NH), mild sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), or moderate SNHL. The purpose of the study was to compare ARTs for the three groups and to determine which method had the best performance in detecting SNHL.
Design: Ipsilateral and contralateral ARTs were obtained using 0.5, 1, and 2 kHz tonal activators, and broadband noise (BBN) activators on a traditional admittance system (Clinical) at tympanometric peak pressures (TPP) and on an experimental wideband system using an AAW method at both ambient pressure and TPP. ART data previously reported for 39 NH adults with a mean age of 47.7 years were compared with data for 25 participants with mild SNHL with a mean age of 63.8 years, and 20 participants with moderate SNHL with a mean age of 65.7 years. Differences in ARTs between the normal-hearing and SNHL groups for the three methods were examined using a General Linear Model Repeated-Measures test. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was also used to determine the ability of an ART test to detect SNHL.
Results: For the 0.5 kHz activator condition, there were no significant group mean differences in ART between NH and SNHL groups for either ipsilateral or contralateral activator presentation modes for the Clinical or AAW methods. There were significant group mean differences for the 1 and 2 kHz tonal activators and BBN activator for both ipsilateral and contralateral modes with greater differences in ART between groups for the AAW method than the Clinical method. In these conditions, the mean ART was lower for the AAW tests relative to the Clinical test. The greatest difference between groups was for the ipsilateral AAW tests for the comparison of NH with moderate SNHL for the BBN activator. This difference was approximately 20 dB for the AAW tests and 8 dB for the Clinical test. The ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) increased with the frequency of the activator stimulus and with the degree of hearing loss and was maximal for the BBN activator for both the AAW and Clinical methods for both ipsilateral and contralateral presentations.
Conclusions: For ipsilateral and contralateral ART tests for activator frequencies above 0.5 kHz and BBN, listeners with SNHL generally had elevated ARTs compared with those with NH. The AAW method resulted in greater differences between SNHL groups and NH than the Clinical method. The AUC for detecting SNHL also increased with activator frequency and degree of hearing loss and was greatest for the BBN activator for the AAW method in both the ambient and TPP conditions. The results are encouraging for the use of an AAW ART method for the assessment of individuals with SNHL.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=J [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=309030

Absorbance acoustique ; Oreille moyenne ; Tympanométrie ; Wideband absorbance (WBA)Résumé : Objective: Wideband absorbance and absorbed power were evaluated in a group of subjects with surgically confirmed otosclerosis (Oto group), mean age 51.6 years. This is the first use of absorbed power in the assessment of middle ear disorders. Results were compared with control data from two groups of adults, one with normal hearing (NH group) mean age of 31 years, and one that was age- and sex-matched with the Oto group and had sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL group). The goal was to assess group differences using absorbance and absorbed power, to determine test performance in detecting otosclerosis, and to evaluate preoperative and postoperative test results.
Design: Audiometric and wideband tests were performed over frequencies up to 8 kHz. The three groups were compared on wideband tests using analysis of variance to assess group mean differences. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was also used to assess test accuracy at classifying ears as belonging to the Oto or control groups using the area under the ROC curve (AUC). A longitudinal design was used to compare preoperative and postoperative results at 3 and 6 months.
Results: There were significant mean differences in the wideband parameters between the Oto and control groups with generally lower absorbance and absorbed power for the Oto group at ambient and tympanometric peak pressure (TPP) depending on frequency. The SNHL group had more significant differences with the Oto group than did the NH group in the high frequencies for absorbed power at ambient pressure and tympanometric absorbed power at TPP, as well as for the tympanometric tails. The greatest accuracy for classifying ears as being in the Oto group or a control group was for absorbed power at ambient pressure at 0.71 kHz with an AUC of 0.81 comparing the Oto and NH groups. The greatest accuracy for an absorbance measure was for the comparison between the Oto and NH groups for the peak-to-negative tail condition with an AUC of 0.78. In contrast, the accuracy for classifying ears into the control or Oto groups for static acoustic admittance at 226 Hz was near chance performance, which is consistent with previous findings. There were significant mean differences between preoperative and postoperative tests for absorbance and absorbed power.
Conclusions: Consistent with previous studies, wideband absorbance showed better sensitivity for detecting the effects of otosclerosis on middle ear function than static acoustic admittance at 226 Hz. This study showed that wideband absorbed power is similarly sensitive and may perform even better in some instances than absorbance at classifying ears as having otosclerosis. The use of a group that was age- and sex-matched to the Oto group generally resulted in greater differences between groups in the high frequencies for absorbed power, suggesting that age-related norms in adults may be useful for the wideband clinical applications. Absorbance and absorbed power appear useful for monitoring changes in middle ear function following surgery for otosclerosis.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=J [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=273194
