Outcomes measures included pre- and postmanagement air-conduction
pure-tone average (PTA) and air-bone gap (ABG). (2) In their
scheme, cerumen was classified as nonoccluding (<50% blockage of the
ear canal), excessive (50 to 80% occlusion but no noticeable conductive
hearing loss and an air-bone gap of [less than or equal to] 10 dB at two
frequencies), or impacted (>80% occlusion with associated conductive
hearing loss and an air-bone gap >10 dB at two or more frequencies). 3%), and the air-bone gap in these 5 ears had improved to 10 dB or
less. |
