Phantom auditory perception—tinnitus—is a symptom of many pathologies. Although there
are a number of theories postulating certain mechanisms of its generation, none have been …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) of all types are widely assumed to arise by a common
mechanism: nonlinear electromechanical distortion within the cochlea. In this view, both …

Otoacoustic emission test instruments are now entering routine audiological practice. Two
general classes of technique are in use in laboratory work—those employing spectrum …

Background. Early detection of hearing loss coupled with appropriate early intervention is
critical to speech, language, and cognitive development. These competencies serve as the …

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPEs) at the 2f1—f2 frequency were recorded
from 44 normal ears in response to equilevel primary tones. Detailed testing included the …

An advanced cochlear echo test technique has been specially developed to tackle some
specific problems associated with measurements from infants. The test procedure and data …

To enhance weak sounds while compressing the dynamic intensity range, auditory sensory
cells amplify sound-induced vibrations in a nonlinear, intensity-dependent manner. In the …

The realization that otoacoustic emissions are sensitive to cochlear disorders has resulted in
the speculation that they may have considerable clinical potential as objective measures of …

On the basis of recent advances in auditory physiology, new tests of cochlear function have
been developed using measures of otoacoustic emissions. In the present report, the clinical …

• Objective.—Screening auditory status prior to neonatal hospital discharge to identify
newborns with severe hearing impairment is an important pediatric care priority. Evoked …
