Contralateral Acoustic Effect of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions in Neonates.
Contralateral acoustic stimulation (CAS) has the effect of reducing the amplitude of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) of the opposite cochlea. This phenomenon is considered to be mediated via the efferent pathway, from the superior olivary complex through the medial olivocochlear system to the contralateral cochlea. The assessment of this suppressive effect provides an objective a...
متن کامل[Changes in transient evoked otoacoustic emissions contralateral suppression in infants].
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the function of the medial olivocochlear system (MOCS) can be evaluated by the suppression effect of the transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE). The competitive noise has an inhibitory effect on the functioning of the outer hair-cell, reducing the level of otoacoustic emissions. Despite the fact that there is no postnatal growth of the cochlea, middl...
متن کاملAging and contralateral suppression effects on transient evoked otoacoustic emissions.
Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) were recorded in 30 normal-hearing subjects to nonlinear clicks while continuous contralateral broadband noise (CBBN) was presented at 40, 50, 60, and 70 dB HL. Thirty subjects between 20 and 79 years were divided system-atically into six-decade age groups, five subjects per group. All subjects in each group had hearing thresholds of 20 dB HL or b...
متن کاملTime Course of the Suppression Effect on Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions by Prolonged Contralateral Acoustic Stimulation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although the suppressive effect of the medial efferent acoustic reflex is well known, the time course of this effect over prolonged periods has yet to be fully evaluated. We assessed time-dependent change in the suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) by the medial efferent acoustic reflex over a relatively long period. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We ...
متن کاملRepeatability of medial olivocochlear efferent effects on transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions in normal-hearing adults
The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) is a brainstem-mediated reflex that reduces cochlear amplifier gain when elicited by sound. The MOCR may provide benefits such as protection from acoustic trauma and improved hearing in background noise. Measurement of MOCR effects may also have clinical applications. MOCR effects can be measured using transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs), as am...
