Hearing Test to Measure Intracranial Pressure **n-Invasively
Hearing Test to Measure Intracranial Pressure **n-Invasively
 Continuous Intracranial Pressure monitoring is a rather invasive procedure requiring a burr hole in the skull, while intermittent readings could involve spinal taps. There’s **w a promising sign that all that may be about to change, as researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital are **w using a special Hearing Test to gauge Intracranial Pressure **n-invasively. The Test is called Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission (DPOAE), and it involves transmitting two tones of a specific sound frequency into the ear canal. So far a proof-of-concept study has shown that the Test may be a viable Test for detecting increased Intracranial Pressure levels in adults, and they’re already working with children to be able to offer it to younger patients. While the proof-of-concept study has shown promise, the current efforts are focusing on identifying which sound frequencies are most indicative of the Pressure inside the brain.
