Abstract

Objectives: This study's objectives were to explore the potential of wideband acoustic immittance (WAI) as a diagnostic tool, examining its accuracy and efficiency in pediatric audiology.

Methods: A narrative review of the contemporary literature was conducted, focusing on studies that assessed the use of WAI in diagnosing pediatric auditory conditions. Key variables such as diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and clinical outcomes were considered.

Results: This review highlighted that WAI offers a broader range of test frequencies and more comprehensive diagnostic information compared with traditional tympanometry. The studies indicated that WAI has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in pediatric audiology. Distinct patterns of wideband absorbance were identified, enabling more detailed and accurate diagnostic evaluations.

Conclusions: WAI shows substantial potential as a diagnostic tool in pediatric audiology, offering improvements in diagnostic accuracy and efficiency over traditional methods. While the initial findings are promising, further research is needed to fully understand its applicability and benefits across different pediatric populations. Future studies should aim to validate the clinical utility of WAI to ensure its widespread adoption in pediatric audiological assessments.
