ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To optimize diagnostics of acubarotrauma by identifying its objective signs based on the results of acoustic reflexometry.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective study was conducted at the forefront of medical evacuation in a combat zone, including examination of patients with unilateral acubarotrauma. During the study, instrumental diagnostics were performed: digital otoscopy, tone threshold audiometry, low-frequency acoustic impedancemetry with the study of ipsilateral acoustic reflexes.
RESULTS: The results of the study revealed a statistically significant relationship with a moderate correlation of the absence of registration of acoustic reflexes with time on the side of the acubarotrauma – the first three days from the moment of injury, as well as on the opposite side – the first day from the moment of injury.
CONCLUSION: Acoustic reflexometry is recommended in cases of unilateral traumatic damage to the organ of hearing to confirm the mine-explosive etiology.
