Efficacy of 1000 Hz tympanometry in infants birth to 4 months of age: A follow up study

Interpretation of 1000 Hz tympanometry is not standardized. Several compensated and uncompensated measures were analyzed and compared to otologic findings. Results of auditory brainstem testing and otoacoustic emissions were considered to better obtain middle ear status. Findings were inconclusive due to small sample size.

This study includes an exhaustive review of the literature related to universal newborn hearing screening and loss to follow-up. It examines refer and follow-up rates in Missouri and highlights three successful newborn hearing screening programs under the same audiologic management.

Evaluation of directional microphone drift in digital hearing aids

The occurrence of directional microphone drift following hearing aid use has been infrequently examined. This study uses the front-to-side ratio to evaluate changes in directional microphone output from new behind-the-ear hearing aids and following approximately three months of hearing aid use. Results indicate no overall significant differences in the front-to-side ratio between initial and follow-up measurements.
