Wideband middle ear power measurement in infants and children.

abstract：:As humans, we hear the way we do because of at least three major forces. The first is phylogeny, the evolutionary changes in the auditory system since its beginnings. The second is embryology, the formation of the system in each individual. Finally, there is the interaction between the biologically determined mechanis...
