Study of otoacoustic emissions during the female hormonal cycle.

Study of otoacoustic emissions during the female hormonal cycle Summary

Technical report: distortion product otoacoustic emissions that are not outer hair cell emissions.

PURPOSE To present a case study in order to alert clinicians to the possibility of occurrence of intermodulation distortion during otoacoustic emissions testing that arises from the cavity formed by the external auditory meatus and tympanic membrane rather than from the inner ear, compromising the reliability and validity of otoacoustic emissions testing. RESEARCH DESIGN Prospective case stud...

Sex-Related Cochlear Impairment in Cigarette Smokers

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 ...

[The influence of gender on otoacoustic emissions in normally hearing subjects].

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to measure gender-related changes of otoacoustic emissions level in subjects with normal hearing in tonal audiometry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Click evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were recorded in 146 (n = 292 ears) subjects. Otoacoustic emissions were recorded in response to nonlinear clicks...

The effect external and middle ears have in otoacoustic emissions.

UNLABELLED Characteristics of how external and middle ear resonance frequency can impact the capture of otoacoustic emissions. AIM to study the impact of external and middle ear resonance frequency in otoacoustic emissions. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, clinical, series study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microphone-probe measurements were made in the external ear, together with multifrequency timpa...
