RESUMO
We present two patients with benign endobronchial tumours: polypi and a chondroma. Both were treated by Neodymium-YAG laser photoresection. There have been no signs of recurrence in the four years since treatment. Endobronchial resection by Neodymium-YAG laser is an effective treatment for benign endobronchial tumours.

In an anechoic room the directional characteristics of 17 different hearing aids were evaluated using KEMAR. Word discrimination scores in the presence of speech-like masking noise--a reliable parameter for the performance of a hearing aid--were compared with the directional sensitivity of the hearing aid under study for different signals. The directional characteristics of a hearing aid have the best predictive value for word discrimination scores in the presence of masking noise if this masking noise is used to measure these characteristics.
