Purpose The objective of the current study was to investigate the short-term test–retest
reliability of contralateral suppression (CS) of click-evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) …

Otoacoustic emission (OAE) amplitude can be reduced by acoustic stimulation. This effect is
produced by the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex. Past studies have shown that the MOC …

Introduction: Deficient auditory processing can cause problems with speech perception and
affect the development and evolution of reading skills. The efferent auditory pathway has an …

The medial olivocochlear reflex has been hypothesized to improve the detection and
discrimination of dynamic signals in noisy backgrounds. This hypothesis was tested here by …

OBJECTIVES:(1) To determine if consonant–vowel–consonant (CVC) syllables from the
Hillenbrand et al.[Hillenbrand J, Getty L, Clark M, Wheeler K. Acoustic characteristics of …

Objectives: In previous studies, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) have been found to be larger
in normal-hearing children with sickle cell disease (SCD). It was hypothesized that some …

Objective: To determine whether children aged 7 to 12 years with listening difficulties show
objective evidence for efferent auditory function based on measurements of medial olivo …

Objective The purpose of the study was to determine the reliability in children of the medial
olivocochlear reflex when measured as decibels of suppression of transiently evoked …

There currently are no standardized protocols to evaluate auditory efferent function in
humans. Typical tests use broadband noise to activate the efferents, but only test the …

Asymmetry in auditory cortical oscillations could play a role in speech perception by
fostering hemispheric triage of information across the two hemispheres. Due to this …
