Unlike any other known sensory receptor, the hair cell uses positive feedback to augment
the stimulus to which it responds. In the internal ears of many vertebrates, hair cells amplify …

Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs), which occur in about 40% of normal-hearing
humans, do not have a firm explanation in auditory theory nor are their distributional …

This comprehensive introduction to the functions of the mammalian ear describes the major
steps by which sound is transformed into nerve impulses. The author leads the reader along …

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 …

Tinnitus: A Multidisciplinary Approach provides a broad account of tinnitus and hyperacusis,
detailing the latest research and developments in clinical management, incorporating …

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 …

Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) are continuous, essentially tonal sounds that
are produced by many normal-hearing cochleas. In humans, females generally exhibit more …

Previous work on acoustic distortion products (DPs) recorded from the ear canal has not
established unequivocally whether emitted DPs principally reflect basilar-membrane …

An increasing amount of support is accumulating for the hypothesis that the outer hair cells
(OHC) of a mammalian cochlea give rise to an enhanced sensitivity and markedly sharp …
