Occupational noise exposure accounts for approximately 16% of all disabling hearing
losses, but the true value and societal costs may be grossly underestimated because current …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) provide an acoustic fingerprint of the inner ear, and changes
in this fingerprint may indicate changes in cochlear function arising from efferent modulation …

South Africa is considered the epicenter of HIV/AIDS with a high rate of TB infection as well.
Links have been established between treatments of these conditions to ototoxicity. However …

Objectives: Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) have become part of routine
audiological diagnostics. The large scale of clinical DPOAE applications, such as screening …

This study assessed the test-retest reliability of distortion-product otoacoustic emissions
(DPOAEs) at four frequencies (550, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz) over three time intervals. The …

Aim: To examine the relations between noise exposure and other risk factors with hearing
function as measured by audiometric thresholds and distortion product otoacoustic …

Abstract Knowledge regarding the variability of transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions
(TEOAEs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) is essential in clinical …

Objectives: Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) are repeatable over time at
lower frequencies (≤ 8 kHz) and higher frequencies (> 8 kHz) in healthy, normal-hearing …

OBJECTIVE: To address the characteristics of hearing loss in patients with Turner syndrome
(TS), we evaluated hearing levels of patients with TS and analyzed causative factors …

Objectives: Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) are repeatable over time at
lower frequencies (≤ 8 kHz). The purpose of this study was to examine the repeatability of …
