Inversion of the stapedial reflex in ossicular chain lesions

In ears with minor conductive hearing loss of traumatic origin, it is sometimes possible to invert the deflection of the stapedial reflex by application of a small underpressure in the external auditory meatus of the injured ear (probe ear). This inversion can be explained by an ossicular discontinu...

Description
Summary:In ears with minor conductive hearing loss of traumatic origin, it is sometimes possible to invert the deflection of the stapedial reflex by application of a small underpressure in the external auditory meatus of the injured ear (probe ear). This inversion can be explained by an ossicular discontinuity bridge by soft tissue.
