The type B tympanogram is usually considered a unique entity. However, its shape may vary from a rounded type B with a \u201cpseudopeak\u201d to a completely flat response. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of the B curve (maximum admittance, tympanometric peak pressure, and area under the curve) to the viscosity of the middle ear fluid and to the air-bone gap (ABG). In 67 children (93 ears) who underwent ventilation tube insertion, no correlation was found between the viscosity of the middle ear fluid and the characteristics of the B curve. However, these characteristics were able to differentiate between a low ABG (0 to 20 dB) and a high ABG (&gt;20 dB). A statistical difference was also found for the three parameters (maximum admittance, p &lt; .0025; pressure, p &lt; .025; and area under the curve, p &lt; .0005). Tympanometry may be used as an objective measure to estimate the extent of conductive hearing loss, especially in young children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348940311200512","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:40:52Z","timestamp":1412347252000},"page":"450-454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Characteristics of the Type B Tympanogram Can Predict the Magnitude of the Air-Bone Gap in Otitis Media with Effusion"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"112","author":[{"given":"Jean-Yves","family":"Sichel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yerucham","family":"Priner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregory","family":"Barshtein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Weiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ron","family":"Eliashar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haya","family":"Levi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josef","family":"Elidan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jerusalem, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1969.00770020401030"},{"key":"bibr2-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1970.04310040005002"},{"key":"bibr3-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197304000-00015"},{"key":"bibr4-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/05384916809074333"},{"key":"bibr5-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00206098609078394"},{"key":"bibr6-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/03005369909090104"},{"key":"bibr7-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.58.2.198"},{"key":"bibr8-000348940311200512","first-page":"271","volume-title":"Handbook of clinical audiology","author":"Block MG","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr9-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1972.00770090791004"},{"key":"bibr10-000348940311200512","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1979.00790150043011"},{"key":"bibr11-000348940311200512","unstructured":"Fiellau-Nikolajsen M.
