Slow Component of Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions.

The effects of aging on evoked otoacoustic emissions and efferent suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions.

OBJECTIVE There is still controversy regarding the effects of aging on evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs), as well as on the efferent system measured by contralateral acoustic stimulation of EOAEs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the deterioration in EOAEs and efferent suppression (ES) in a representative sample statistically controlling for the differences in hearing thresholds....

Noise-evoked otoacoustic emissions in humans.

Click-evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) and acoustical responses evoked by bandlimited Gaussian noise (noise-evoked otoacoustic emissions; NEOAEs) were measured in three normal-hearing subjects. For the NEOAEs the first- and second-order Wiener kernel and polynomial correlation functions up to the sixth order were calculated by cross correlating the noise stimulus and the emission response....

Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and pseudohypacusis.

The audiologic diagnosis of pseudohypacusis continues to challenge the clinical audiologist. The introduction of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) to the test repertoire of the audiologist may prove valuable in the evaluation of pseudohypacusis. This report highlights five cases in which transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) were used to cross-check the validity of subjective audiologic th...

The role of intermodulation distortion in transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions.

Transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) are low-intensity sounds recorded in the external ear canal immediately following stimulation by a transient stimulus, typically a click. While the details of their production is unknown, there is evidence to suggest that the amplitude of each component frequency reflects the physiological condition of the corresponding region of the cochlea. Cert...
