title: Oto-admittance measurements in the diagnosis of otosclerosis.
abstract: Theoretical considerations show that admittance measurements are likely to be more sensitive in differentiating between middle-ear pathologies than compliance measurements. Thirty-five ears in 20 patients with clinical otosclerosis were studied to assess the usefulness of admittance measurements in contributing to diagnosis.
