Effects of ear-canal static pressure on pure-tone thresholds and wideband acoustic immittance.

abstract：:Although it has been reported that smoking has deleterious effects on the middle ears of smokers, including their eustachian tubes, investigators have failed to find differences in the tympanometric characteristics of smokers and nonsmokers. In the present study, however, we found that the Valsalva-induced tympanometr...
