ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the responses of Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions by transient stimulus and distortion product in individuals with Ménière’s Disease. Methods Cross-sectional study a sample composed 60 individuals, aged 19 to 75 years, divided into two groups: group, 32 medical diagnosis disease, without other risks control group formed 28 cochlear loss Meniere’s age sex matched group. El...

Introduction. Otitis media with effusion is a common pediatric disease whose diagnosis is based on pneumatic otoscopy, pure-tone audiometry, and tympanometry. The aim of this study was to evaluate transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions in the diagnosis of otitis media with effusion as compared to tympanometry. Patients and Methods. 38 children with bilateral otitis media with effusion were st...

Neonates younger than the age of 12 weeks (10 full-term, 20 preterm) had an audiological assessment consisting of brainstem audiometry, tympanometry, transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions, and spontaneous otoacoustic emissions with contralateral white noise stimulation. Results from brainstem audiometry, tympanometry, and transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions suggested normal middle ear f...

Hearing loss can be considered as the most common birth defect. Early detection of hearing loss by screening at, or shortly after, birth and appropriate intervention are critical to speech, language and cognitive development. In the present study, the characteristics of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions have been evaluated as a function of known pre- and perinatal risk factors for hearing ...

It has been reported that both click-evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) have higher amplitudes in ears that possess spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs). The general aim of the present study was to investigate whether the presence of spontaneous activity in the cochlea affected tone-burst evoked otoacoustic emissions (TBOAEs). As a b...

The clinical measurement of otoacoustic emissions can assist in differentiating between peripheral and central explanations for deficits in speech understanding. We present audiometric and distortion-product emission data in a case with sensorineural hearing loss and a deficit in speech understanding . The presence of evoked emissions argues against attributing the speech audiometric loss to co...

UNLABELLED Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and distortion product otoacoustic emissions have gained significant importance in the identification of cochlear alterations. AIM To record distortion product thresholds through the monitoring of otoacoustic emissions in normal conditions and in the presence of electrophysiologic changes in cochlear outer hair cells in sheep after hyperinsuli...

UNLABELLED Exposure to loud music is increasing among young people, and so could be the number of hearing impairment cases in this population. Otoacoustic emission tests are sensitive in capturing the effects of exposure to noise, and allow the detection of early cochlear disorders. OBJECTIVE This study aims to look into the prevalence rates of injuries to outer hair cells in a population of ...

OBJECTIVE To correlate the annoyance of tinnitus assessed by the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and on a visual analogue scale with the evoked otoacoustic emission test result in tinnitus patients with normal hearing. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Public tertiary hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The sample was initially based on a population of 80 subjects with tinnitus; 20 of them ...
