Assessment of ear disorders using power reflectance.

abstract：:In recent years there has been an increased acceptance of the cochlear implant as an appropriate sensory aid for selected hearing-impaired individuals with profound losses. With the Food and Drug Administration's release of the 3M/House single channel cochlear implant on November 29, 1984 and the Nucleus 22-channel co...
