Objective The study investigated the relationship between the strength of the medial
olivocochlear reflex (measured via contralateral inhibition of otoacoustic emissions) and …

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is defined as a processing deficit in the auditory
modality and spans multiple processes. To date, APD diagnosis is mostly based on the …

Objective: Assessments of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) may have clinical utility.
The MOCR is measured using contralateral inhibition of otoacoustic emissions but …

Auditory processing disorder (APD) affects about 2–5% of children. However, the nature of
this disorder is poorly understood. Children with APD typically have difficulties in complex …

Efferent modulation has been demonstrated to be very important for speech perception,
especially in the presence of noise. We examined the functional relationship between two …

Purpose The role of the medial olivocochlear system in speech perception in noise has
been debated over the years, with studies showing mixed results. One possible reason for …

The presentation of contralateral noise during the recording of transient evoked otoacoustic
emissions (TEOAEs) reduces the amplitude of the TEOAE in normally-hearing adults. This is …

Objective: The objectives were to investigate the function of central auditory pathways and of
the medial efferent olivocochlear system (MOCS). Design: Event-related potentials (ERP) …

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 …

Bilateral amplification seems to be the best solution for bilaterally hearing-impaired persons.
Nevertheless, some individuals are unsuccessful with this strategy. The goals of the present …
