Abstract

A flat tympanogram predicts a middle ear effusion in about 90% of cases. This paper describes how to perform tympanometry, some common problems when doing it and how to classify the curves in normal (type A), middle ear effusion (type B) or negative pressure (type C). The theoretical background of impedance audiometry is outlined. The stapedius reflex, pneumatic otoscopy, reflexometry and otomicroscopy are described as supplements or alternatives in diagnosing fluid in the middle ear. Tympanometry is recommended as a diagnostic modality for general practitioners.

Outcomes of transient evoked otoacoustic emission testing in 6-year-old school children: a comparison with pure tone screening and tympanometry.

OBJECTIVES: (1) To establish test performance measures for Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission testing of 6-year-old children in a school setting; (2) To investigate whether Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission testing provides a more accurate and effective alternative to a pure tone screening plus tympanometry protocol. METHODS: Pure tone screening, tympanometry and transient evoked otoacoustic emission data were collected from 940 subjects (1880 ears), with a mean age of 6.2 years. Subjects were tested in non-sound-treated rooms within 22 schools. Receiver operating characteristics curves along with specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and efficiency values were determined for a variety of transient evoked otoacoustic emission/pure tone screening/tympanometry comparisons. RESULTS: The Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission failure rate for the group was 20.3%. The failure rate for pure tone screening was found to be 8.9%, whilst 18.6% of subjects failed a protocol consisting of combined pure tone screening and tympanometry results. In essence, findings from the comparison of overall Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission pass/fail with overall pure tone screening pass/fail suggested that use of a modified Rhode Island Hearing Assessment Project criterion would result in a very high probability that a child with a pass result has normal hearing (true negative). However, the hit rate was only moderate. Selection of a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) criterion set at > or =1 dB appeared to provide the best test performance measures for the range of SNR values investigated. Test performance measures generally declined when tympanometry results were included, with the exception of lower false alarm rates and higher positive predictive values. The exclusion of low frequency data from the Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission SNR versus pure tone screening analysis resulted in improved performance measures. CONCLUSIONS: The present study poses several implications for the clinical implementation of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission screening for entry level school children. Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission pass/fail criteria will require revision. The findings of the current investigation offer support to the possible replacement of pure tone screening with Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission testing for 6-year-old children. However, they do not suggest the replacement of the pure tone screening plus tympanometry battery.

Xylitol in preventing acute otitis media.

Xylitol is a polyol sugar alcohol and is referred to as birch sugar, because it can be produced from birch. Natural sources of xylitol include plums, strawberries, raspberries and rowan berries. Xylitol inhibits the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae and it inhibits the attachment of both pneumococci and Haemophilus influenzae on the nasopharyngeal cells. In two clinical trials xylitol was found efficient to prevent the development of acute otitis media with a daily dose of 8.4-10 g of xylitol given in five divided doses. The efficacy in these 2-3 months follow-up trials was approximately 40% when chewing gum was used and approximately 30% with xylitol syrup. The need to use antimicrobials reduced markedly when using xylitol. In a high-risk group of children with tympanostomy tubes xylitol was ineffective in preventing otitis. Xylitol appears to be an attractive alternative to prevent acute otitis media. A more practical frequency of doses should be found before its use can be widely recommended.

Tympanometry and acoustic reflectometry in ears with chronic retraction without effusion.

OBJECTIVE: Purpose of this study was to find out test accuracy and predictivity of tympanometry (TYMP) and parameters (reflectivity and curve angle) of acoustic reflectometry (AR) in the ears with prior clinic and otoscopic evidences of effusion in which no effusion was detected by myringotomy, by comparing with the data found in normal ears and in those with effusion. METHODS: While study group included 31 ears with chronic retraction in which no effusion was detected by myringotomy, control group included 150 fully normal ears and 150 ears with effusion confirmed by myringotomy. B tracings in TYMP, and values of reflectivity higher than 5 and curve angle lower than 75 degrees in AR were accepted as indicators of effusion; in the combined test, the ears with non-B tracings in which curve angle higher than 75 degrees were accepted as those without effusion. RESULTS: False positivity values of TYMP, reflectivity and curve angle and the combined test found in the ears with chronic retraction without effusion (29, 23, 19 and 35% respectively; chi(2)-test, P > 0.1) were significantly higher than normal ears (chi(2)-test, P < 0.001), but lowe than those of effusion (chi(2)-test, P<0.0001). Further, although negative predictivity values of TYMP, reflectivity and curve angle were found to be lower in these ear, compared to normal ears (chi(2)-test, P < 0.01), the combined test reached to a perfect negative predictivity, as much as in normal ears. On the other hand, positive predictivity values were decreased in the ears with chronic retraction without effusion by only reflectivity. CONCLUSIONS: By both TYMP and AR alone, it is more difficult to find out the ears without effusion among the ears clinically and otoscopically diagnosed as otitis media than to find out normal ears. Therefore, in clinical work, false positivity of these devices were higher, and their specificity and negative predictivity were lower; although the combined test solved problem of low negative predictivity, high number of false positive ears in clinical work, that is lower specificity, continues to be an unsolved problem by either TYMP or AR alone, or both together.
