“…The involvement of EHFs in auditory pathology is diverse. They affect detecting the location of the sound [9] and understanding language, especially in noisy surroundings [10]. They are also associated with agerelated hearing loss, ototoxicity, and acoustic trauma.…”

Context Hearing loss is the most important risk factor of tinnitus, but this relation is not straightforward; some patients with severe tinnitus have normal hearing, whereas many patients with hearing loss do not have tinnitus. Aims The aim was to determine if high frequency audiometry (HFA) may reveal significant differences between normal hearing participants with and without tinnitus. Settings and design This is a case-control study. Participants and methods HFA was done on two groups of participants with normal hearing sensitivity. The first group was composed of 20 adults with tinnitus, whereas the control group was 15 age-matched and sex-matched participants, not suffering from tinnitus. Statistical analysis Data were analyzed using SPSS software package version 20.0. Significance of the results was judged at the 5% level. χ 2 with Fisher's exact as a correction, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Pearson's coefficient tests were used. Results HFA showed no significant difference between the two studied groups. Conclusion Tinnitus in normal hearing participants does not necessarily indicate corresponding damage in the cochlea

“…The measurement of the EHF hearing range is possible due to the development of earphones that are capable of delivering sounds with suffi cient pressure levels and optimally transmit sound through the ear canal. The routine use of the EHF range in clinical testing is essential given that acoustic energy at EHFs plays an important role in providing speech clues, such as sound localization (Best et al, 2005) and speech understanding (Shaw et al, 1996;Rodr í guez Valiente et al, 2009), especially in noisy environments (Bradi et al, 2011). The use of EHF monitoring for ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss is relatively accepted, although its use to monitor adverse effects of noise is less accepted.…”
