新生儿畸变产物耳声发射测试

用ＧＳＩ６０ＤＰＯＡＥ仪对２０例（４０耳）新生儿进行畸变产物耳声发射（ＤＯＰＡＥ）测试。结果显示，在ｆ１≤１ｋＨｚ时ＤＯＰＡＥ检出率很低，而当ｆ１位于１．４￣４．０ｋＨｚ时，检出率大于９０％；低频率的ＤＯＰＡＥ辐值较低，在ｆ１位于１．４￣４．０ｋＨｚ范围内幅值较高。提示新生儿低频段ＤＰ易受噪声、刺激声强度、受试者的自身代谢活动、中耳功能及中耳对耳蜗反应的传输功能的影响。因此，在用ＤＰ进行新生儿听力     

Neonatal hearing screening in a neonatal intensive care unit using distortion-product otoacoustic emissions

OBJECTIVE: To determine pass and refer rates, and identify risk factors relating to refer responses, in neonates screened using distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 435 neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the Philippine General Hospital between May and October 2000 were screened using DPOAEs within 48 h of admission. RESULTS: The male:female ratio in the sample was 1.05. In total, 56% of neonates were born preterm, the mean birthweight was 2,428.39 +/- 710.39 g and 8.9% weighed < 1,500 g. In total, 47.9% were delivered by Caesarian section and 44.9% were delivered vaginally. Almost 14% of neonates had 1-min Apgar scores of < 6, and 4% had 5-min Apgar scores of < 7. Approximately 95% of neonates had a poor perinatal history. Using pediatric aging it was noted that 46% of these neonates were born preterm. and 30.4% were small for gestational age. At least one neonatal disease was found in 42% of neonates, whilst 95.7% had to be given medication. The bilateral refer rate was 29.1%. Two-by-two analysis of risk factors for hearing loss and DPOAE measurements showed that only male sex seemed to have a significant association with a refer response. Neonates weighing < 1,500 g at birth showed a marginally significant association with a refer response (p = 0.07). All other neonates showed no crude association with DPOAE measurements. CONCLUSION: These preliminary data show that a high proportion of NICU patients may have poor outer hair cell function, and thus poor hearing. In order to develop an effective neonatal hearing screening program, further studies of prevalence and risk factors should be pursued in the same setting.     

High frequency immittance for neonates: a normative study

CONCLUSION: High frequency immittance measurements demonstrate promise in clarifying middle ear status for neonates but age- and gender-specific norms should be consulted. OBJECTIVE: To describe high frequency immittance measurements using a 1000 Hz probe tone for a sample of 278 neonatal ears (0-4 weeks of age) in order to compile normative tympanometric and acoustic reflex criteria. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Assessment of neonatal ears included 1000 Hz probe tone immittance measurements (tympanograms and ipsilateral acoustic reflexes), and distortion product oto-acoustic emission (DPOAE) screening. Results were compared and normative values were compiled for immittance measures in ears controlled for normal middle ear functioning (n=250). RESULTS: Comparison of immittance results to OAE screening outcome provides estimates of sensitivity and specificity for middle ear fluid with tympanometry of 57% and 95%, and 57% and 90% for acoustic reflex presence, and 58% and 87% for combined tympanogram and acoustic reflex results, respectively. Normative data indicate that static peak admittance values differ significantly across gender and age with the 5th percentile cut-off value for the entire sample at 1.4 mmho. The 90% range of tympanic peak pressure normative values increases with increasing age from 140 daPa for neonates 1 week of age to 210 daPa for neonates 2-4 weeks of age. Acoustic reflexes were elicited at 93+/-9 dB with a 90% normality range of 80-105 dB.

Fine structure of distortion product otoacoustic emissions: its dependence on age and hearing threshold and clinical implications

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) are routinely used in audiological diagnostics. When the stimulus frequencies f1 and f2 are varied in small steps, distinct non-monotonicities (peaks and valleys) in DPOAE level versus frequency functions can be observed. This so-called DPOAE fine structure (FS) is supposed to be the result of physiological interferences between two different cochlear sources which generate the DPOAE signal. Although FS can complicate interpretations with respect to cochlear functional status at the primary source near f2, its presence might also be relevant in clinical audiological diagnostics. It is therefore of interest to determine FS prevalence and its dependence on age, frequency and hearing threshold. First, it was screened for FS using two tone stimulation (L1/L2 = 55/45 dB SPL, f2/f1 = 1.22) and frequency steps of 40 Hz in the frequency range of 1.8-4.2 kHz. DPOAE (2f1 - f2) were then recorded in 1/3 octave-bands centered around f2 = 2, 3 and 4 kHz with a frequency resolution of 12.5, 20 and 25 Hz, respectively, both with and without a third stimulus (L3 = 45 dB SPL, f3 = 2f1 - f2 + 25 Hz) which was supposed to act as a suppressor of FS. Results of measurements in 102 human individuals from a mixed patient population are reported. Prevalence of DPOAE and FS in a specific frequency range, (i.e. 2, 3, or 4 kHz) was classified into five categories: I) distinct FS within the respective frequency range, II) "single dip" in DP-gram, III) "flat" DP-gram well above noise floor but no distinct FS, IV) DPOAE near noise floor with "irregular responses", and V) no DPOAE measurable. The prevalence of the categories was set in relation to the subject's age and the audiometric threshold at the corresponding center frequency. The estimated probability for a FS (category I and II) was 50-80% if hearing threshold was better than 10 dB HL at the corresponding center frequency. FS prevalence strongly decreased with increasing hearing loss (P < 0.0001). There was no statistically significant age effect (P = 0.088). In more than 50% of the subjects with a behavioral hearing threshold of 10 dB HL or better, a distinct FS near the according frequency was detected, given the presented measurement conditions. While further research is directed at optimal suppression of the second cochlear source of DPOAE and thereby of FS in order to obtain information about the cochlear status near f2 only, the evaluation of FS itself may be clinically useful for monitoring subtle cochlear changes, e.g. during exposure to ototoxic substances or noise.     

Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in humans with high frequency sensorineural hearing loss

Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and pure-tone behavioral thresholds were compared in 20 ears with normal hearing and in 20 ears with high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. The purpose was to determine if DPOAE amplitude is associated with pure-tone behavioral threshold. Comparison of results from the two groups of ears indicated that DPOAEs were reduced in amplitude or were absent in ears with high-frequency hearing loss. The differences occurred at frequencies above 1,500 Hz. Comparing results from 750 to 8,000 Hz within the same ear revealed a frequency-related correspondence of elevated behavioral threshold to reduced DPOAE amplitude. When behavioral thresholds were better than 20 dB HL, DPOAE amplitude was within the range (+/- 2 SDs) determined for the ears with normal hearing. When pure-tone threshold was greater than 50 dB HL, DPOAEs were absent or were significantly attenuated in 16/17 subjects (94%). The association of emission level with behavioral threshold level was variable when threshold was between these two extremes. Results imply that the measurement of DPOAEs has clinical potential as a means of detecting hearing loss by frequency.
