Under investigation were 18 children with radiation sickness at the age of 4-14 years with pathologies of the ear – developed from suppurative otitis media, chronic secretory otitis media as well as tubal disorders and chronic exsudative otitis media.

The children were treated with MRT-Music^® for 8-12 days, each day 1 or 2 times per cd and headphones. Listening time was not limited and depended on the wish of the children.

For the children below six years of age the treatment time averaged 30 minutes, most of the children at the age 13 / 14 years wanted to listen to the whole piece (70 minutes). Next to the treatment with MRT-Music^® the children received different vitamin b's, spasmolytica, disinfecting preparations and biostimulators.

Results

In 57% of the children with tubal disorder the negative pressure reduced by 15 mm – an indirect sign of a better functioning of the hearing organ.
Audiograms and impedancometry documented a clear improvement in sound-transmission capability, which was subjectively confirmed by the children.

In 5% of the measurements of the children with conductive deafness we could see by the help of the topolic audiogram a reduced bone-air interval by 10-15dB, which indicates a better hearing ability.

Every third child at the age till 5 years had an exsudative atrophy in the tympanum. In one child a reduction could be found.
