Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, eşdeğer kulak kanal hacminin pediatrik grupta yaşa bağlı değişiminin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 1-8 yaş arası 60 birey 120 kulak dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılar her grupta 30 birey olmak üzere iki grupta değerlendirilmiştir; Grup I’in yaş aralığı 1-4 iken Grup II’nin yaş aralığı 5-8 olarak belirlenmiştir. İşitmesi normal olan tüm bireylere otolojik muayene sonrasında immitansmetrik ölçümler uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Grup I ve Grup II’nin ölçülen eşdeğer kulak kanalı hacmi değerleri farkı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur p

Analysis The Changes of Equivalent Ear Canal Volume Measured in Normal Hearing Children According to Age

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the age-related change of equivalent ear canal volume in the pediatric group. Materials and Methods: Sixty individuals 120 ears aged between 1 and 8 years were included in the study. Participants were evaluated in two groups as 30 individuals in each group; The age range of Group I is 1-4 and the age range of Group II is 5-8. After the otologic examination, immitansmetric measurements were applied to all individuals with normal hearing. Results: The difference between the measured ear canal volume values of Group I and Group II was statistically significant p
