This is a quantitative and longitudinal study, developed from 2019 to 2021, at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). The studied sample comprised 15 participants aged 5 to 12 years (mean 7.9 years), 12 male and 3 female, arranged into two groups: children diagnosed with pharyngeal and\/or palatine tonsil hypertrophy who were candidates for surgery (G1), and children who were later evaluated after surgery (G2). As part of the test, an otoscopy and measurements of logoaudiometry, pure-tone threshold audiometry, wideband tympanometry (ambient and peak pressure), and otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs and DPOAEs, both at ambient and peak pressure) were all performed. There were statistically significant differences between phases in pure-tone audiometry, in terms of 226 Hz tympanometry, wideband tympanometry in peak pressure conditions, in the amplitude measurement TEOAEs in both pressure conditions, in DPOAEs in ambient pressure conditions, and in the signal\/noise measurement in both pressures in DPOAEs. Overall, it was found that hearing tests were different for subjects with palatine and pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy compared to the post-surgical group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci14060598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T03:52:53Z","timestamp":1718337173000},"page":"598","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Wideband Tympanometry and Pressurized Otoacoustic Emissions in Children with Surgical Excision of Palatine and\/or Pharyngeal Tonsils"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Aline Buratti","family":"Sanches","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-887, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3647-3999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milaine Dominici","family":"Sanfins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Speech-Hearing-Language Department, Audiology Discipline, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04023-062, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Teleaudiology and Screening, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany\/Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4978-1915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr Henryk","family":"Skarzynski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Teleaudiology and Screening, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany\/Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Hearing, Center of Hearing and Speech Medincus, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Trials, Institute of Sensory Organs, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3340-1698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena Beata","family":"Skar\u017cy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology Hearing, Center of Hearing and Speech Medincus, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Trials, Institute of Sensory Organs, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Hearing, World Hearing Center, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Pharmacotherapy and Pharmaceutical Care, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-097 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henrique Costa","family":"Penatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Ambulatory of Medical Specialties, Santa B\u00e1rbara D\u2019Oeste 13450-000, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Donadon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-887, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingrid Pereira de","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-887, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingridy Vitoria da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-887, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7456-9502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Francisca","family":"Colella-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-887, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Musiek, F.E., and Baran, J.A.
