Disease relevance of Hearing Tests

• When normal hearing was established, aminoglycosidic antibiotics (kanamycin and dihydrostreptomycin) were given daily and hearing tests administered in order that the course of hearing loss could be closely followed [1].
• Vestibular findings in sensorineural hearing disorders. Results of caloric, oculomotor and hearing tests in 205 patients with unilateral hearing dysfunction [2].

High impact information on Hearing Tests

• Hearing tests were not specific, because conductive, sensorineural, and mixed patterns were found [3].
• A factor analysis revealed that the various hearing tests were associated with different medical and physical conditions which might influence threshold estimation for multi-handicapped children [4].
• On days 1 and 3, nephrotoxicity was evaluated from serum creatinine and ototoxicity by a hearing test [5].
• Hearing tests found bilateral normal hearing in 80% (PTA <20dB), unilateral loss in 15% and bilateral loss in 5% [6].
• Effects of gestational exposure to ethane dimethanesulfonate in CD-1 mice: microtia and preliminary hearing tests [7].

Anatomical context of Hearing Tests

• The best strategy for children who failed the behavioral hearing tests, or in whom these tests were not applicable, was that based on ABR and middle ear impedance measures, complemented, when necessary, by ECochG [8].

Gene context of Hearing Tests

• Limitations of ABR as a hearing test as exemplified in multiply handicapped adults [9].
• In this study, the central auditory function of six autistic subjects was assessed experimentally using a battery of tests which included the Staggered Spondaic Word Test, the Competing Environmental Sound Test, and monaural hearing tests, as well as supplementary measures of language and handedness [10].
