    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Otoacoustic Emissions
    • Hearing Science

    Background:

    • Pure tone audiometry is the standard for identifying ear pathology.
    • Normal hearing on pure tone screening may still indicate middle ear issues.
    • Previous methods lack comprehensive detection of cochlear and middle ear pathologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved screening method for ear pathology.
    • To combine pure tone testing with impedance measurements for comprehensive screening.
    • To establish optimal screening levels minimizing false positives.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized pure tone audiometry and impedance measurements.
    • Incorporated tympanometry with a threshold of -150 mm H2O.
    • Employed pure tone screening at 0.5 and 3 kHz frequencies.

    Main Results:

    • A combined approach effectively screens for ear pathology.
    • Tympanometry combined with specific pure tone frequencies identifies cochlear and middle ear issues.
    • The proposed method aims to reduce false-positive results.

    Conclusions:

    • A combined screening protocol of tympanometry and pure tone audiometry is effective.
    • This method enhances the identification of both cochlear and middle ear pathologies.
    • Recommended screening involves tympanometry (≤ -150 mm H2O) and pure tone testing at 0.5 and 3 kHz.
