WIDEBAND IMMITTANCE IN NEONATES: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Journal Title: Journal of Hearing Science - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: To analyze the literature on wideband immittance testing and to evaluate the success of these procedures in evaluating middle ear function in newborns. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using as keywords: wideband, tympanometry, reflectance, absorbance, immittance. Papers which did not address neonates were excluded from the review. From each article specific information was extracted referring to the following: sample size, population characteristics, equipment, stimulus type, study evaluation, and study conclusion. Conclusions: This systematic review considers that wideband immittance is a promising way for evaluating middle ear function in neonates. It is necessary to establish regulatory standards for different age groups of neonates and infants.
