The sensitivity of the auditory system is regulated via two major efferent pathways: the
medial olivocochlear system that connects to the outer hair cells, and by the middle ear …

The efferent auditory nervous system may be a potent force in shaping how the brain
responds to behaviorally significant sounds. Previous human experiments using the …

Objective The medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex provides unmasking of sounds in noise,
but its contribution to speech-in-noise perception remains unclear due to conflicting results …

The aim of this study was to compare the reliability of the medial olivocochlear reflex
(MOCR) between men and women. The strength of the MOCR was measured in terms of the …

Objectives: The contralateral medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) strength may indicate
various auditory conditions in humans, but a clinically viable assay and equipment are …

The medial olivocochlear (MOC) system is thought to be responsible for modulation of
peripheral hearing through descending (efferent) pathways. This study investigates the …

Objective The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the magnitude of the medial
olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) estimated by the reduction in tone-burst evoked otoacoustic …

The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR), usually assessed by the inhibition of transiently
evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) with contralateral noise, is a very small effect. In …

This study investigated whether visual attention affects the reliability (ie, repeatability) of
transiently evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) magnitudes or of medial olivocochlear …

Introduction: Schizophrenia patients have cognitive issues, such as attention deficits.
Cognitive activity controls the micromechanics of cochlear outer hair cells (OHC). We …
