Abstract: Objective To explore characteristics of energy absorbance(EA)of wideband acoustic immittance(WAI)in young adults with normal hearing, and to compare the inter-ear and inter-sex differences in EA. Methods Sixty normal hearing young adults(120 ears)were selected and subjected to pure tone audiometry, acoustic impedance, and wideband acoustic immittance tests. The results were statistically analyzed. Results EA demonstrated an irregularly inverted “W” type of trend. Differences in EA were statistically significant at the frequency of 2 000 Hz, while there were no significant differences with regard to the residual frequency. The EA between 250 Hz and 630 Hz in women were slightly lower than that in men. The EA between 630 Hz and 3 150 Hz in women were slightly higher than that in men; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion The EA of young adults with normal hearing was particularly low at lower frequencies, and subsequently increase rapidly; furthermore, the EA for mid-high frequencies were relatively higher. WAI did not demonstrate significant differences between ears and both sexes. Comparing the differences in EA could be used to increase the specificity and sensitivity of the diagnosis of middle ear diseases in clinical settings.
