OBJECTIVE: To apply machine learning models based on air conduction thresholds of pure-tone audiometry for automatic diagnosis of Meniere's disease (MD) and prediction of endolymphatic hydrops (EH).
Hearing problems are commonly diagnosed with the use of tonal audiometry, which measures a patient's hearing threshold in both air and bone conduction at various frequencies. Results of audiometry tests, usually represented graphically in the form of...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine which machine learning model is most suitable for predicting noise-induced hearing loss and the effect of tinnitus on the models' accuracy.
OBJECTIVES: Diseases of the middle ear can interfere with normal sound transmission, which results in conductive hearing loss. Since video pneumatic otoscopy (VPO) findings reveal not only the presence of middle ear effusions but also dynamic movemen...
Diagnostic tests for hearing impairment not only determines the presence (or absence) of hearing loss, but also evaluates its degree and type, and provides physicians with essential data for future treatment and rehabilitation. Therefore, accurately ...
INTRODUCTION: Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used for the rehabilitation of profound bilateral hearing loss. However, patients with substantial residual acoustic hearing are potential CI candidates. Because of both improvements in technology an...
