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.
