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 …

α-Tectorin (TECTA), β-tectorin (TECTB), and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell
adhesion molecule 16 (CEACAM) are secreted glycoproteins that are present in the tectorial …

Although stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) offer compelling advantages
as noninvasive probes of cochlear function, they remain underutilized compared to other …

Reflection-source otoacoustic emission phase-gradient delays are widely used to obtain
noninvasive estimates of cochlear function and properties, such as the sharpness of …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are faint sounds generated by healthy inner ears that provide
a window into the study of auditory mechanics. All vertebrate classes exhibit OAEs to varying …

It has been proposed that OAEs be classified not on the basis of the stimuli used to evoke
them, but on the mechanisms that produce them (Shera and Guinan, 1999). One branch of …

Otoacoustic emissions (sound emitted from the ear) allow cochlear function to be probed
noninvasively. The emissions evoked by pure tones, known as stimulus-frequency …

Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) and stimulus frequency otoacoustic emissions
(SFOAEs) have been described from lizard ears. Although there are several models for …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are sounds emitted by the ear and provide a non-invasive
probe into mechanisms underlying peripheral auditory transduction. This study focuses …

Although many early anatomical papers touched on lizard ears, the absence of accurate
tools severely limited progress. After 1950, new techniques permitted detailed anatomical …
