abstract：:The aim of this study was to evaluate, in 20 young volunteer subjects, the effects of supra-physiological vitamin B12 administration on noise-induced temporary threshold shift (TTS). All subjects had hearing thresholds within 15 dBHL and type A tympanograms. The subjects were randomly assigned to two different groups....

abstract：:Noise is a significant risk factor in aviation, especially in military aviation. Even though our earlier studies have shown that the risk of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among military pilots is small and the monitoring of their hearing is effective, we still need to develop methods of assessing the risk of NIHL ...

abstract：:The objective of this study was to determine normative values for tympanometric variables for 4-5-year-old children. Tympanometry was performed at a pre-scheduled visit at the age of 49-68 months on children recruited to a follow-up visit in a vaccine efficacy trial (n=756 children). Tympanograms obtained successfully...
