Validity of automated audiometry for hearing examination in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis

we show that from 36 total patients (72 ears) in this study,
The comparison test results using the Mann-Whitney
test showed that there were significant differences between automated
audiometry and conventional audiometry in both ears. Sensitivity 80-97%, specificity 37-96%, positive predictive value
74-98%, and negative predictive value 59-96%. Automated audiometry is valid for
use as a method of hearing examination and monitoring in patients with
multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.we show that from 36 total patients (72 ears) in this study,
