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...

UNLABELLED Manipulation of auditory stimuli affect the ABR evoked potentials and aid the diagnosis, particularly in auditory neuropathy patients. Some patients with auditory neuropathy lose evoked otoacoustic emissions over time; in these cases, comparing responses to rarefaction and condensation clicks, and decreasing the stimulus rate can show an extended cochlear microphonism or yield an imp...

Mani pulation of auditory stimuli affect the ABR evoked potentials and aid the diagnosis, particularly in auditory neuropathy patients. Some patients with auditory neuropathy lose evoked otoacoustic emissions over time; in these cases, comparing responses to rarefaction and condensation clicks, and decreasing the stimulus rate can show an extended cochlear microphonism or yield an improved elec...

This paper describes audiologic, electrophysiologic, and medical test results for a now 10-year-old girl who has had 45 episodes of reversible, sudden sensorineural hearing loss over the last 8 years. Episodes have lasted from 6 to 72 hours and often have been accompanied by a mild illness. Acoustic immittance measures have been consistent with normal middle-ear function with the exception of a...
