Analysing wideband absorbance immittance in normal and ears with otitis media with effusion using machine learning

Abstract Wideband Absorbance Immittance (WAI) has been available for more than a decade, however its clinical use still faces the challenges of limited understanding and poor interpretation of WAI results. This study aimed to develop Machine Learning (ML) tools to identify the WAI absorbance charact...
