目的：为了研究健康婴儿从出生到6个月的扫频阻抗（SFI）测量的发展特征，设计：所有婴儿均使用高频鼓室导抗（HFT）、畸变产物耳声发射（DPOAE）和SFI测试进行评估。SFI测量包括测量外耳和中耳的共振频率（RF）和活动度（ΔSPL）。采用混合模型方差分析方法分析年龄对RF和ΔSPL的影响。研究样本：83名不同年龄组婴儿从出生到6个月共117耳。外耳的平均RF从出生时的279 Hz增加到4个月时的545 Hz，而外耳的平均ΔSPL从出生时的7.9dB下降到4月龄时的3.7dB。结论：应用SFI评价6个月以内婴幼儿外耳和中耳功能时，应考虑其发育特点。本研究中建立的初步规范性SFI数据可用于协助评估。
Objective: International Journal of Audiology To study the developmental characteristics of sweep frequency impedance (SFI) measures in healthy infants from birth to 6 months.Design: All infants were assessed using high-frequency tympanometry (HFT), distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and SFI tests. SFI measures consisted of measurement of resonance frequency (RF) and mobility (ΔSPL) of the outer and middle ear. A mixed model analysis of variance was applied to the SFI data to examine the effect of age on RF and ΔSPL.Study sample: Study included 117 ears from 83 infants of different age groups from birth to 6 months.Results: The mean RF of the outer ear increased from 279 Hz at birth to 545 Hz at 4 months, whereas mean ΔSPL of the outer ear decreased from 7.9 dB at birth to 3.7 dB at 4 months of age. In contrast, the mean RF and ΔSPL of the middle ear did not change significantly with age up to 6 months.Conclusions: Developmental characteristics should be considered when evaluating the function of the outer and middle ear of young infants (≤6 months) using the SFI. The preliminary normative SFI data established in this study may be used to assist with the evaluation.
