Audiometria de alta freqüência: estudo com indivíduos audiologicamente normais

Abstract: High-frequency audiometry: study with normal audiological subjects Resumo / SummaryPesqui sas recentes apontam a Audiometria Tonal de Alta .reqüência (AT-A.) como um instrumento para o diagnóstico precoce de danos auditivos decorrentes de alguns agentes etiológicos principais, como envelhecimento e exposição a drogas ototóxicas e a intensidades elevadas de ruído. Objetivo: Apesar de já existirem várias técnicas desenvolvidas para essa avaliação, algumas não se aplicam à rotina clínica, em função da falta de pr… Show more

“…Porto et al 9 and Martinho et al 13 reported significant differences between the right and left ears' thresholds, which was not found in our study -since according to the statistical analysis carried out by means of the MannWhitney test, significant results were not found (p<0.05) which would justify the study of the ears separately. This was also proven by studies carried out by Fernandes et al 5 and Carvallo et al 16 , who also did not find differences between the high frequency tonal thresholds between the right and left ears.…”

“…The results found are depicted on Chart 1. Still in search of uniformity, Martinho et al 13 carried out a study with 60 individuals, with the goal of tracing the high-frequency audiological profile of individuals between 30 and 40 years, with normal hearing aiming at establishing reference standards and also to establish the lower and upper limits for each frequency from both genders. The audiometer used was the Interacoustics AC-40 and HV/ PRO phones.…”

“…For the early diagnosis of hearing disorders among musicians, in order to show problems that are not yet visible in conventional audiometry, some studies have used the highfrequency audiometry (from 9,000 to 20,000 Hz) together with conventional audiometry (from 250 to 8,000 Hz) (3,8,9,(11)(12)(13) . This decision is made by the audiologist, since high-frequency audiometry is an important examination to detect hearing impairment located at the base of the cochlear duct, before its characteristic effects can be detected at the conventional frequency rate (14,15) .…”

“…There are studies that have high frequencies tonal audiometry as a tool for the early diagnosis of hearing alterations caused by some etiological agents, such as aging, exposure to ototoxic agents, occupational noise, sequelae of otitis media, hearing monitoring in patients with hearing processing disorders, hearing impairment investigation in relatives of hearing impaired people of genetic origin [6][7][8][9][10] . Moreover, this type of audiometry may confirm the clinical impressions hinted by conventional audiometry 6 .…”

“…Above 15kHz this phenomena happens when half of the wavelength produces resonances in the cross-sections of the external auditory canal. There is the possibility of variations of about 15-20dB resulting from the slightest changes in earphone positioning in the ear 7 .…”
