Previous research has indicated that inner ear function might be modulated by visual attention, although the results have not been totally conclusive. Conceivably, modulation of hearing might occur due to stimulation of the cochlea via descending medial olivocochlear (MOC) neurons. The aim of the present study was to test whether increased visual attention caused corresponding changes in inner ...

[1] Mid-Cretaceous (Barremian-Turonian) plankton preserved in deep-sea marl, organic-rich shale, and pelagic carbonate hold an important record of how the marine biosphere responded to shortand long-term changes in the ocean-climate system. Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) were short-lived episodes of organic carbon burial that are distinguished by their widespread distribution as discrete beds of ...

At present, security is significant for individuals and organizations. All information need to prevent theft, leakage, alteration. Security must be guaranteed by applying some or combining cryptography algorithms the information. Encipherment method that changes plaintext a secure form called cipherment. includes diverse types, such as symmetric asymmetric encipherment. This study proposes an i...

Objective assessment of auditory function is an important topic in research and clinical practice. Particularly, assessment of the compressive nonlinearity provides useful information about the inner ear. One way to assess auditory processing is the measurement of the neural response elicited by acoustic stimulation via electroencephalography (EEG). Specifically, auditory-steady state responses...

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a specific form of hearing loss characterized by the presence of normal or near-normal Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) but the absence of normal middle ear muscle reflex and severely abnormal or completely absent auditory brainstem response (ABRs). Amplification is considered a dilemma in such disorder with a lot of debates. This article will review ...

OBJECTIVES Determine the prevalence and risk factor of neonatal hearing loss in the high-risk group. MATERIAL AND METHOD A prospective descriptive study, using the criteria of "high-risk" as defined by the Joint Committee of Infant Hearing 1994, American Academy of Pediatrics, 465 newborn in Songklanagarind Hospital were screened with portable otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) before being dischar...

UNLABELLED Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is characterized by impairment of the auditory nerve associated with preservation of outer hair cell function. OBJECTIVE To establish the prevalence of ANSD in subjects with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). METHOD This retrospective study was carried out between 2010 and 2012 and included the charts of 2,292 individuals with SNHL. Da...

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) were monitored in two human males undergoing estrogen treatment prior to sex-reversal surgery. In one subject, multiple spontaneous emissions (SOAEs) appeared where none had been evident previously. One reasonable interpretation is that (in this male, at least) androgens normally produced a suppressive effect on the cochlear mechanisms responsible for SOAEs, and tha...

The purpose of this study was to determine if the menstrual cycle influences the amplitude of transient (TEOAEs) and distortion-product (DPOAEs) otoacoustic emissions. Thirteen normal-hearing, normal-cycling females were monitored weekly for 12 weeks. TEOAE and DPOAE amplitudes were analyzed to determine if amplitude changes could be detected and correlated to phases of the menstrual cycle. No ...
