PTA freqs
500, 1000, 2000, (4000)
normal hearing type
AC & BC within -10-25 dB across all freqs
conductive HL
BC normal hearing
AC worse
ABG >/= 10
issue in the MIDDLE EAR
SNHL
AC & BC both outside normal range (>25)
ABG < 10
issue in INNER EAR
mixed hearing loss
AC & BC both outside the normal range (>25)
AC worse than BC
ABG >/= 10
issue in MIDDLE & INNER EAR
normal peak admittance for adults
0.37-1.66 mmhos
normal peak pressure for adults
-100-50 daPa
normal ECV for adults
0.9-2.0 ml
type A tymps
everything normal
type As tymps
shallow
normal peak pressure
reduced peak admittance
increased stiffness, middle ear effusion
type Ad tymps
deep
normal peak pressure
higher than normal admittance
scarred or flaccid TM, ossicular disontinuity
type B tymps
essentially flat - no peak pressure or admittance
high or low ECV
type C tymps
negative pressure peaks beyond -100 daPa
eustachian tube dysfunction, middle ear effusion
