Legend:
Influence of tympanogram type on TEOAE reproducibility for individuals with normal air-conduction hearing thresholds but with air-bone differences >10 dB at one or more frequencies. Three ears had type A, 6 ears had type B, and 8 ears had type C tympanograms. Average TEOAE reproducibility exceeded 50% for the midfrequencies (2–3 kHz) for type A tympanograms and type C tympanograms (2–3–4 kHz). In spite of minimal hearing loss, type B tympanograms were associated with obliteration of the TEOAE. Note: the results summarized here do not include 5 ears with patent PE tubes.
