The antioxidants ethoxyquin and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were added to diets of chicks in concentrations three and eight times above that usually found in poultry feed beginning 15 days after… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Good test-retest reliability of high frequency (≥ 8 kHz) pure-tone audiometry (HFPTA) is essential to detect significant changes in hearing threshold caused by ototoxicity. While the… (More)
OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was evidence-based support for targeted surveillance programs using a risk-factor registry to detect postnatal hearing loss or… (More)
BACKGROUND
Although newborn hearing screening programs have been introduced in most states in Australia, the prevalence of conductive hearing loss and middle ear pathology in the infants referred… (More)
Hearing loss is the most common of all disabilities in China, with three million of the 1.4 billion population affected. Recently, the release of an official neonatal hearing screening consensus has… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The importance of monitoring hearing throughout early childhood cannot be understated. However, there is a lack of evidence available regarding the most effective method of monitoring… (More)
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), an antioxidant, was provided to chicks at 8 X, 30 X and 80 X the normal concentrations in their feed beginning at 1 day of age and continuing for the next 6 weeks. The… (More)
The present study investigated body position effects on transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) recordings of clinical significance. Sixty adults (30 males, 30 females) were assessed using the… (More)
