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...

The behavioural nature of pure-tone audiometry (PTA) limits those who can participate in the test, and therefore those who can access accurate hearing threshold measurements. Event Related Potentials (ERPs) from brain signals has shown limited utilit...
To date, pure-tone audiometry remains the gold standard for clinical auditory testing. However, pure-tone audiometry is time-consuming and only provides a discrete estimate of hearing acuity. Here, we aim to address these two main drawbacks by develo...

OBJECTIVE: Pure tone audiometry has played a critical role in audiology as the initial diagnostic tool, offering vital insights for subsequent analyses. This study aims to develop a robust deep learning framework capable of accurately classifying aud...
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.
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...

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 loss is a public health concern that affects millions of people globally. Clinically, a person's hearing sensitivity is often measured using pure-tone audiometry and visualized as a pure-tone audiogram, a plot of hearing sensitivity as a func...
Hearing loss poses immense burden worldwide and early detection is crucial. The accurate models identify high-risk groups, enabling timely intervention to improve quality of life. The subtle changes in hearing often go unnoticed, presenting a challen...
