Abstract:
Evaluation of middle ear function in infants is the key to distinguish sensorineural hearing loss and conductive hearing loss, and acoustic immittance test is the routine audiological evaluation of middle ear function.Because of the characteristics of middle ear in infants, middle ear examination parameters of adults are not suitable for infants. This article reviewd the current multiple acoustic immittance methods for detecting middle ear function in infants, and summarized the advantages and disadvantages of these methods.

Multiple Comparison Tests
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
