Background: The study aims at investigating the effect of aging and noise exposure on the
auditory system using auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), distortion product otoacoustic …

Objectives: Tinnitus, hyperacusis and difficulty listening in background noise are common
symptoms reported by patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of this study was to …

The auditory sensory organs appear to be less damaged by exposure to high-level noise
that is presented after exposure to non-traumatizing low-level noise. This phenomenon is …

Background Contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) may serve as an
index of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex. To date, this index has been studied in …

More than 800 million L/d of hydrocarbon fuels is used to power cars, boats, and jet
airplanes. The weekly consumption of these fuels necessarily puts the public at risk for …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: To compare self‐reported symptoms of difficulty hearing
speech in noise and hyperacusis in adults with auditory processing disorders (APDs) and …

This study tests the hypothesis that amplitude modulation (AM) detection will be better under
conditions where basilar membrane (BM) response growth is expected to be linear rather …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Contralateral inhibition of distortion product otoacoustic
emissions (DPOAE) has become an important tool to assess the functioning of the medial …

Contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) is frequently used to assess the
medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system, and may have clinical utility. However, OAEs …

The roles of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) in human hearing have been widely
investigated but remain controversial. We reason that this may be because the effects of …
