Abstract

Background and Aim: Hearing loss assessment is typically done using the conventional pure tone audiometry (125 Hz to 8000 Hz). Extended high-frequency audiometry (EHFA), which covers the frequency range of 9000 Hz to 20000 Hz, is a very useful tool for detecting early hearing loss before engaging middle and low frequencies. The involvement of these frequencies significantly affects hearing sensitivity. The purpose of the present study was to review the literature on the early diagnosis of hearing impairment using EHFA. Recent Findings: EHFA has been suggested as a low utilization tool in clinical evaluation. However, in recent years, a great deal of information has been provided in this area. This evaluation has proven to be useful in a variety of areas, including ototoxicity, noise-exposed individuals, and users of personal music devices, hidden hearing loss (HHL), middle ear infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren’s syndrome. Conclusion: Given the importance and application of this clinical tool in the early detection of hearing loss and its use in conjunction with other evaluations, better care planning and prevention can be offered to patients in some areas. Keywords: Extended high-frequency audiometry; middle ear infections; hidden hearing loss; ototoxic medications; noise exposure; personal music player

扩展高频测听的应用：叙述性综述

背景和目的：听力损失评估通常使用传统的纯音测听法（125Hz至8000Hz）进行。扩展高频听力计（EHFA）覆盖9000赫兹至20000赫兹的频率范围，是在使用中低频之前检测早期听力损失的一种非常有用的工具。这些频率的参与会显著影响听力灵敏度。本研究的目的是回顾使用EHFA早期诊断听力损伤的文献。最近的发现：EHFA被认为是临床评估中使用率较低的工具。然而，近年来，在这一领域提供了大量信息。该评估已被证明在多个领域有用，包括耳毒性、暴露于噪音的个人和个人音乐设备的使用者、隐性听力损失（HHL）、中耳感染、类风湿性关节炎和干燥综合征。结论：鉴于该临床工具在听力损失早期检测中的重要性和应用，以及它与其他评估的结合使用，在某些领域可以为患者提供更好的护理计划和预防。关键词：扩展高频听力计；中耳感染；隐性听力损失；耳毒性药物；噪声暴露；个人音乐播放器
