We reported a comparison of auditory brainstem response (ABR)-estimated hearing levels with hearing levels by pure-tone audiogram for 84 ears of 42 children. Their average age was 34 months at the time of ABR and 73 months for the audiogram. Thus, all of these children were managed clinically on the basis of their ABR results. The ABR accurately predicted the pure-tone average (PTA) in 76% and was in error by no more than about ± 10–12 dB in another 18%.

Behavioral thresholds were measured from 31 adults with normal hearing for 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz brief tones presented using a B-71 bone oscillator. Three occlusion conditions were assessed: ears unoccluded, one ear occluded, and both ears occluded. Mean threshold force levels were 67, 54, 49, and 41 dB re:1μN peak-to-peak equivalent in the unoccluded condition for 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz, respectively (corrected for air-conduction pure-tone thresholds). A significant occlusion effect was observed for 500 and 1000 Hz stimuli. These thresholds may be used as the 0 dB nHL (normalhearing level) for brief-tone bone-conduction stimuli for auditory brainstem response testing.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate different auditory regions with audiological tests, based on the presumption that there may be damage to the structures in the hearing system after coronavirus disease 2019. Methods Twenty individuals with no history of coronavirus disease 2019 and 27 individuals diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 were compared. Pure tone, speech and extended high-frequency audiometry, acoustic immitansmetry, transient evoked and distortion product otoacoustic emissions testing, and auditory brainstem response testing were conducted. Results The pure tone audiometry and extended high-frequency mean threshold values were higher in the coronavirus disease 2019 group. The transient evoked otoacoustic emissions signal-to-noise ratios were bilaterally lower at 4 kHz in individuals with a coronavirus disease 2019 history. In the auditory brainstem response test, only the interpeak latencies of waves III–V were significantly different between groups. Conclusion Coronavirus disease 2019 may cause damage to the hearing system. Patients should be followed up in the long term with advanced audiological evaluation methods in order to determine the extent and level of damage.
