Table 2.
Results of post hoc analyses (Tukey tests) indicating the ages (in weeks) at which infant ER pressure differences (ERat a given static ear-canal pressure minus ER at TPP) were significantly different from adults (α=0.05). A blank space indicates the lack of a statistically significant difference between any of the infant groups and the adult group.
