Residual water in the ear canal can falsely suggest hearing loss and alter auditory brainstem response (ABR) test results. This artefact may be misdiagnosed as a retrocochlear lesion, impacting patient diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Caloric testing and ear irrigation are common audiological procedures.
  • Accurate auditory brainstem response (ABR) recordings are crucial for diagnosing hearing and neurological disorders.

Observation:

  • Residual water in the external ear canal after irrigation can affect audiological test results.
  • This can simulate a conductive hearing loss, impacting ABR measurements.

Findings:

  • Water in the ear canal leads to increased latencies and reduced amplitudes in ABR recordings.
  • These changes mimic the effects of a retrocochlear lesion.

Implications:

  • ABR artefacts caused by water can lead to misdiagnosis of retrocochlear pathologies.
