This investigation examined the effects of the aging process on the adequacy of Eustachian tube function. Older adults presenting normal hearing sensitivity and sensorineural hearing loss and normally hearing young adults served as subjects. Eustachian tube function was assessed using electroacoustic immittance measurement. Tympanograms were analyzed relative to pressure and function (amplitude) changes after Eustachian tube testing. One-way analyses of variance and chi 2 analyses revealed no significant differences between groups and no significant relationships between group membership and tympanometric measures.
本研究调查了衰老过程对咽鼓管功能充足性的影响。听力敏感度正常、患有感音神经性听力损失的老年人以及听力正常的年轻成年人作为研究对象。使用电声导抗测量法评估咽鼓管功能。在咽鼓管测试后，根据压力和功能（幅度）变化对鼓室图进行分析。单因素方差分析和卡方分析显示，各组之间无显著差异，组间成员与鼓室测量值之间也无显著关系。
