Study leader Dr Carlijn le Clercq said: "In this study, 14.2 per cent of schoolaged children showed audiometric notches or high-frequency hearing loss.
The aim of this study was to evaluate computed tomography (CT) findings in patients with otosclerosis and determine their correlation with audiometric findings and surgical outcome in a nonendemic population.
Acute acoustic trauma is typically characterized by the sudden onset of tinnitus in the affected ear/ears, a sensation of blocked ear and the sudden onset of unilateral/bilateral hearing loss with a temporary or permanent threshold shift, typically with an audiometric notch at 4 kHz or 6 kHz.
