OBJECTIVE There is still controversy regarding the effects of aging on evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs), as well as on the efferent system measured by contralateral acoustic stimulation of EOAEs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the deterioration in EOAEs and efferent suppression (ES) in a representative sample statistically controlling for the differences in hearing thresholds....

UNLABELLED Vitiligo is a skin disease characterized by absence of melanin due to melanocytes destruction. AIM to study the incidence of hearing alterations in patients with vitiligo. METHOD prospective audiological evaluation, transient-evoked otoacoustic emission recordings and study the effects of suppression in 24 patients with vitiligo. Their ages ranged from 15 to 45 years. RESULTS 2...

The development and application of otoacoustic emissions in clinical practice marked the beginning of a new era in the field of screening for congenital hearing loss. In particular, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) have been widely adopted by many universal hearing screening (UNHS) programs. The test is quick, non-invasive, objective, sensitive, frequency specific, relatively che...

Thirty patients with temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction were selected to investigate the changes in otoacoustic emissions before and after conservative treatment of their temporo-mandibular joints. Pure tone audiometry, transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) as well as a tinnitus questionnaire were administered to all patients before a...

Otoacoustic emissions and behavioral hearing thresholds were measured before and after exposure to a 10-min, 105-dB SPL, half-octave band of noise centered at 1.414 kHz. Along a single recovery function, transient-evoked otoacoustic-emission (TEOAE) measurements made with 74-dB pSPL nonlinear click ensembles were alternated with a Bekesy threshold-tracking procedure. Each of the 14 participants...

BACKGROUND To screen the newborn by Transient evoked Otoacoustic emission and to assess the incidence of hearing damage and associated risk factors. METHOD This longitudinal prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in India. A total of 415 babies were included in the study. All the newborns were evaluated with Transient evoked Otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) whic...

This paper describes the implementation and performance of a nonlinear time-domain model of the cochlea for transient stimulation and human otoacoustic emission generation. The nonlinearity simulates compressive growth of measured basilar-membrane impulse responses. The model accounts for reflection and distortion-source otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and simulates spontaneous OAEs through manipu...

This study verifies the effects of contralateral noise on otoacoustic emissions and auditory evoked potentials. Short, middle and late auditory evoked potentials as well as otoacoustic emissions with and without white noise were assessed. Twenty-five subjects, normal-hearing, both genders, aged 18 to 30 years, were tested . In general, latencies of the various auditory potentials were increased...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether transient-evoked and distortion-product (DP) otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are more sensitive than pure-tone audiometry (PTA) in revealing gentamicin-induced ototoxicity in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). DESIGN Prospective case-control study. SETTING Tertiary referral audiologic center in conjunction with an academic pediatric CF unit. PARTICIPANTS The...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of perinatal asphyxia on the level of the response to transient otoacoustic emissions in infants. METHODS Otoacoustic emissions in 154 neonates were performed: 54 infants who suffered asphyxia at birth, measured by Apgar score and medical diagnosis, and 100 infants without risk were compared. Scores less than 4 in the first minute and/or less than 6 in the fi...
