STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LENGTH OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITORY CANAL AND HEARING ACUITY

Abstract

The relevance of the study devoted to the study of the relationship between the length of the external auditory canal and hearing acuity is due to the importance of accurate diagnosis and understanding of the anatomical and physiological features of the auditory system. The external auditory canal plays a key role in the transmission of sound waves to the eardrum, and its size can affect the perception of sounds of varying frequency and intensity. Studies aimed at identifying the relationship between anatomical parameters and functional characteristics of the auditory system contribute to the development of effective methods for the diagnosis and prevention of hearing disorders. This direction is especially relevant in the context of early diagnosis of hearing disorders in children, adolescents and the elderly, whose auditory function may change under the influence of various factors such as age-related changes, environmental conditions, as well as pathological processes. Also, this study may have an impact on improving prosthetics and tuning of hearing aids, which in turn will improve the quality of life of patients with hearing impairments.
