RESUMO

Objective: To assess the results found in Immittance measurements using 226Hz and 1000Hz in neonates without Hearing Loss Risks Indicators (HLRI) and to correlate them to Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (EOAT) and also to study Acoustic Reflex using 226Hz probe tones. Methods: Assessments of 52 full - term neonates, being 27 males and 25 females on an age group from 11 to 51 days of life. Anamnese, Meatoscopy, EOAT, Tympanometry using 226 and 1000 probe tones and Ipsilateral Acoustic Reflex Research were performed. Results: Data were analyzed regardless gender and ears. In relation to EOAT (78,8%) were present. Tympanometric curves using 226Hz probe tone found were: A ( 55,8%), D (40,4%) and Ar (1,0%), B (2,9%); and the ones found using 1000Hz probe tone were: A (74%), D (1%), B (14,4%) and Blocked (10,6%). According to p-value, there has been a relation among Tympanometric and general reproductivity. On the sample, 81,7% of the ears indicated presence of Acoustic Reflex. Conclusions: A significant statistically relation was found when it was compared Tympanometric curves types A and D using 226Hz. When it was compared the probe tones types A and blocked (using 1000Hz) to tympanometric curves type B, they were related to the EOAT emissions, which were also statistically significant. Besides, it was also verified a greater detection of changes on middle ear when the immitanciometry was performed using 1000Hz probe tone than the one performed using 226Hz probe tone. Tympanometric curve using 1000Hz probe tone showed to be more adequated for the detection of changes of middle ear than 226Hz probe tone
