  Whether the auditory periphery is mature at birth and when it starts to decline withage is still an unanswered question in humans, especially when there are conditions that are associated with auditory risk factors.In the present study we are particularly interested in the auditory risk regarding theexposure to passive smoking. The vulnerability of the auditory system to tobaccosmoke is e…

• Abstract

  The search for effective methods in audiological diagnosis is a major concern for professionals. The otoacoustic emissions test identifies dysfunction of outer hair cells that affect the cochlea. However, the measurement is influenced by the condition of the middle ear. Wideband tympanometry is a diagnostic procedure able to detect mild middle ear dysfunction not detected by conventional …

• Abstract

  : The act of smoking bring a lot health damage for both active and secondhand smokes being the emphasis, of this study the damage to the auditory system of secondhand smokers. In the literature, there are several studies that highlight smoke as a risk factor for developing hearing loss, because the carbon monoxide contained in a cigarette's smoke produces an ototoxic effect that affects t…

  Analysis of distortion and reflection components of otoacoustic emissions from schoolchildren exposed to secondhand smoke, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The rate of students exposed to secondhand smoke in the home environment in Brazil still high: 26.2%. Passive smoking has been characterized as a risk factor for hearing loss. Carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke produces an ototoxic effect that affects the functioning of the auditory system, specifically the functioning of the outer hair cells. When healthy, the outer hair cells …

• Abstract

  Otosclerosis is a Dystrophy in the labyrinthine capsule, causing less mobility in the stirrup bone as well as joint stiffness in the system. Stapedotomy is a surgical technique that aims the hearing improvement in cases of otosclerosis, removing the ossicle with the disease focus and replacing it with a prosthesis, rebuilding the ossicular chain. With the system mobility reduction, a lowe…

• Abstract

  Whether the auditory periphery is mature at birth and when it starts to decline with age is still unanswered questions in humans. Today, technological advances allow greater accuracy in the study of changes in cochlear physiology, especially at high frequencies, which would have a greater impact on signal the first effects of age. A recent study evaluated individuals aged 10 to 65 at a fr…
