A Prospective Study

SummaryDespite the huge advances in clinical audiology over the past few decades, tuning fork tests are still used extensively in the diagnosis of hearing loss. This study investigates the usefulness, reliability and accuracy of tuning fork tests in a group of children involved in a prospective study of glue ear, and shows them to be of dubious value.

A Prospective Study

Hearing loss in renal dialysis and renal transplant patients occurs quite frequently. An assessment of the likely etiological factors is nearly impossible in a retrospective analysis of any one patient because many factors exist simultaneously. In a prospective study of a large series of patients an identification of factors contributing to the hearing loss was possible in the majority of patients. During the study it became increasingly apparent that what was observed at any one time was the combined effect of many factors. Although one factor seemed to precipitate the hearing loss it was inadvisable to attribute total responsibility to that agent or circumstance. Further, this combined effect was not a simple addition of effects but potentiation. The serious implications of this phenomenon are discussed.
