OAE V.Examination of EOAE by two-short sound simultaneous stimulation.

Simultaneous comparison of two sound localization measures.

Almost all behavioral studies of sound localization have used either an approach-to-target or pointing/orienting task to assess absolute sound localization performance, yet there are very few direct comparisons of these measures. In an approach-to-target task, the subject is trained to walk to a sound source from a fixed location. In an orienting task, finger, head and/or eye movements are moni...

Response to simultaneous stimulation of two sense modalities.

Improvement of visual contrast detection by a simultaneous sound.

Combining input from multiple senses is essential for successfully mastering many real-world situations. While several studies demonstrate that the presentation of a simultaneous sound can enhance visual detection performance or increase the perceived luminance of a dim light, the origin of these effect remains disputed. The suggestions range from early multisensory integration to changes in re...

Assessment of Hearing Loss by OAE in Asphyxiated Newborns

BACKGROUND Severe birth asphyxia (apgar < 7 at the 5th minute of birth) is recognized as a hearing loss risk factor by the joint committee on infant hearing (JCIH). About half of the newborns with hearing loss do not indicate any sign and risk factor at birth. Accordingly, the joint committee recommended performance of hearing screening test in 2000, especially for babies born with risk factors...

Effects of Sound Stimulation on Physiological and Biochemical Responses of ‘Salvia splendens’

Plants are influenced inevitably by environmental stresses due to their immobility. Sound waves are one of these environmental factors affecting plants. This study was designed to understand the relationship between sound waves and plant responses that is still low knowledge. For this purpose, Salvia splendens, one of the common plants in urban green spaces, were influenced by sound wa...
