Characterizing the Relationship Between Reflection and Distortion Otoacoustic Emissions in Normal-Hearing Adults
Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) arise from one (or a combination) of two basic generation mechanisms in the cochlea: nonlinear distortion and linear...

The Origin Along the Cochlea of Otoacoustic Emissions Evoked by Mid-Frequency Tone Pips
PurposeTone-pip-evoked otoacoustic emissions (PEOAEs) are transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) that are hypothesized to originate from...
-
Optimal Scale-Invariant Wavelet Representation and Filtering of Human Otoacoustic Emissions
Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are generated in the cochlea and recorded in the ear canal either as a time domain waveform or as a collection of...

The Remarkable Outer Hair Cell: Proceedings of a Symposium in Honour of W. E. Brownell
In 1985, Bill Brownell and colleagues published the remarkable observation that cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) express voltage-driven mechanical...

Reflection-Source Emissions Evoked with Clicks and Frequency Sweeps: Comparisons Across Levels
According to coherent reflection theory, otoacoustic emissions (OAE) evoked with clicks (clicked-evoked, CE) or tones (stimulus frequency, SF)...

Whistling While it Works: Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions and the Cochlear Amplifier
Perhaps the most striking evidence for active processes operating within the inner ears of mammals and non-mammals alike is their ability to...

Swept Along: Measuring Otoacoustic Emissions Using Continuously Varying Stimuli
At the 2004 Midwinter Meeting of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, Glenis Long and her colleagues introduced a method for measuring...

Gender differences in contralateral suppression of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders
PurposeThe current study aims to evaluate gender variations in the efferent auditory system functioning in the ANSD population and compare them to...

Conditions Underlying the Appearance of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions in Mammals
Across the wide range of land vertebrate species, spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAE) are common, but not always found. The reasons for the...

Reflection- and Distortion-Source Otoacoustic Emissions: Evidence for Increased Irregularity in the Human Cochlea During Aging
Previous research on distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) components has hinted at possible differences in the effect of aging on the two...

Ototacoustic Emissions-Based Hearing Assessment of Neonates in Tertiary Care Hospital
Hearing is a special sense needed for appropriate mental, speech and language development and academic performance. Even among normal babies, 50% of...

Exploring the Role of Medial Olivocochlear Efferents on the Detection of Amplitude Modulation for Tones Presented in Noise
The medial olivocochlear reflex has been hypothesized to improve the detection and discrimination of dynamic signals in noisy backgrounds. This...

Neural Encoding of Amplitude Modulations in the Human Efferent System
Most natural sounds, including speech, exhibit temporal amplitude fluctuations. This information is encoded as amplitude modulations (AM)—essential...

Could Tailored Chirp Stimuli Benefit Measurement of the Supra-threshold Auditory Brainstem Wave-I Response?
Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) to broadband clicks are strongly affected by dyssynchrony, or “latency dispersion”, of their frequency-specific...

The Spectral Extent of Phasic Suppression of Loudness and Distortion-Product Otoacoustic Emissions by Infrasound and Low-Frequency Tones
We investigated the effect of a biasing tone close to 5, 15, or 30 Hz on the response to higher-frequency probe tones, behaviorally, and by measuring...

Does the “Reticular Lamina Nonlinearity” Contribute to the Basal DPOAE Source?
The spatial extent of the cochlear region that actually contributes to the DPOAE signal measured in the ear canal may be evaluated experimentally...

Modeling the dependence of the distortion product otoacoustic emission response on primary frequency ratio
When measured as a function of primary frequency ratio r = f 2 / f 1 , using a constant f 2 , distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) response...

Electrically Evoked Medial Olivocochlear Efferent Effects on Stimulus Frequency Otoacoustic Emissions in Guinea Pigs
Stimulus frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) are produced by cochlear irregularities reflecting energy from the peak region of the traveling...

Spectral Ripples in Round-Window Cochlear Microphonics: Evidence for Multiple Generation Mechanisms
The cochlear microphonic (CM) results from the vector sum of outer hair cell transduction currents excited by a stimulus. The classical theory of CM...

Profiles of Stimulus-Frequency Otoacoustic Emissions from 0.5 to 20 kHz in Humans
The characteristics of human otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) have not been thoroughly examined above the standard audiometric frequency range (>8 kHz)....
