L’audiometria multifrequenziale nello studio degli acufeni
2004
Multifrequency audiometry, using 20 Hz steps between 125 Hz to 800 Hz, studies patients affected by essential tinnitus. Bilateral normal auditive perception, tested using standard audiometers, was not confirmed in all patients analysed using the multifrequency technique. We observed neurosensorial deficit areas between 1040-1100 Hz and between 1920-1960 Hz. These results were integrated with diagnostic imaging and tested coclear nucleus microiscaemic areas and endococlear suffering. The patients who were given medical treatment showed benefits which were confirmed by partial regression of the neurosensorial deficit and tinnitus.
Association between sleep-disordered breathing and hearing disorders: Clinical observation in Sicilian patients
2015
Introduction: To examine the putative association between Sleep-Disordered breathing and hearing disorders Material and methods: 120 Sicilian subjects ranging from 14 to 85 years of age who were divided in 46 cases suffering from tinnitus (G1 group) and 74 controls (G2 group) were evaluated through STOP BANG screening questionnaire and Four-Variable Screening Tool; after Data collecting each subject underwent Audiological assessment by multi-frequency audiometry (PTA) and Transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE-diagnostic) for each ear. Results: Cases showed: PTA significantly severe than the control group (58.70% vs. 16.89% hearing loss; P<0.001), such as a lower signal-to-noise r…
