Homograft tympanoplasty: graft material effects on otoadmittance and audiometric measurements

Ear and Hearing
V S GladstoneA P Wenger

Abstract

Otoadmittance measurements and air- and bone-conduction thresholds were obtained for 20 subjects who underwent type I tympanoplasty. Component tympanometry, particularly with a high-frequency probe tone, demonstrated that homograft tympanic membrane transplants exhibited more normal function than did temporalis fascia grafts. Audiometric results revealed greater hearing improvement by the homograft transplant group.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
