ABSTRACT

Os objetivos deste estudo foram descrever e analisar as medidas timpanométricas obtidas com sonda de 226 e 1000 Hz; verificar correlação da timpanometria com o resultado das emissões otoacústicas e otoscopia; descrever as alterações. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Estudo prospectivo, duplo cego, realizado com 70 bebês, entre 7 dias e 1 mês e 13 dias de vida. Foram realizadas as emissões otoacústicas, otoscopia e timpanometria com sonda de 226 Hz e 1000 Hz. RESULTADOS: Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) na correlação entre as medidas timpanométricas analisadas com os dois tons de sonda e na correlação entre o resultado das emissões otoacústicas e a compliância obtida. Foi observada normalidade em todos os exames na maioria dos bebês (94,28 por cento); apenas três (4,28 por cento) foram encaminhados ao diagnóstico audiológico e um bebê (1,42 por cento) apresentou alteração de orelha média confirmada pela otoscopia e timpanometria em 1000 Hz. CONCLUSÕES: A timpanometria realizada com tom sonda de 1000 Hz é a mais recomendada para avaliar bebês até 6 meses de idade. São necessários mais estudos com enfoque nas propriedades mecanoacústicas da orelha média de bebês para que a interpretação de exames com este tom de sonda tenha maior confiabilidade.


This study aimed at describing and analyzing tympanometric results obtained with 226Hz and 1000Hz probe tones; checking for correlations between tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions and otoscopic examination; describing abnormal results found in the evaluation procedures. METHODS: Double-blind and prospective study. Our sample included 70 babies, between 7 days and one month and 13 days of age, without risk indicators for hearing loss, evaluated in the State Neonatal Hearing Screening Program. Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions, otoscopic examination and tympanometry with 226Hz and 1000Hz probe tones were used as assessment tools. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee from the institution. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were observed (p<0.05) in the tympanometric measures correlation and also between transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and compliance obtained with both probe tones. Most test results were within the normal range (94.28 percent). Three children (4.28 percent) were referred to diagnostic follow-up and one (1.42 percent) had middle ear dysfunction confirmed by otoscopy and 1000Hz tympanometry. CONCLUSIONS: 1000Hz tympanometry is the most reliable probe tone used to evaluate children under three months of age. More studies focusing on middle ear acoustics and mechanics are necessary to provide reliable and precise interpretation in the evaluation of middle ear functions in babies.
