Chapter 3: Parameters that Influence Pure Tone Threshold Prediction Accuracy with Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions and Artificial Neural Networks
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The preceding chapter formulated the need for an objective audiologic procedure to aid in the assessment of difficult-to-test populations. Limitations in current objective procedures inspired the ongoing effort to attempt to predict pure tone thresholds (PITs) accurately across a wide frequency range. Despite the complex relation between DPOAEs and PTTs, many researchers turned to distortion product otoacoustic emissions as the possible new objective method due to promising predictions of normal hearing, especially in the high frequencies.

The audiological profile of adults with and without hypertension
OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is any influence of systemic arterial hypertension on the peripheral auditory system. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that investigated 40 individuals between 30 and 50 years old, who were divided into groups with and without systemic arterial hypertension, using data from high-frequency audiometry, transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions and disto...
متن کاملHearing loss evaluation of Sjögren's syndrome using distortion product otoacoustic emissions.
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a cell-mediated immune disorder primarily affecting the exocrine glands and hearing loss may be the first otological manifestation of this autoimmune disease. In order to assess the degree of sensorineural hearing loss in SS, 22 female patients were examined by means of standard audiometric tests (pure-tone audiometry, acoustic reflexes and impedance testing) and usin...

Background and purpose: Stimulus–evoked otoacoustic emission (OAE) is generated by the outer hair cells (OHCs) and high levels of noise will highly damage these cells. Therefore, even a mild loss in OHCs could alter the generation of OAE. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the pure tone threshold, Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission (DPOAE) amplitude in industrial workers exper...

BACKGROUND A number of studies have documented the influence of cigarette smoking on hearing. However, the association between sex and hearing impairment in smokers as measured by otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) has not been clearly established. The aim of this study was to analyze sex-specific effects of smoking on hearing via conventional and ultra-high-frequency pure tone audiometry (PTA), and ...
