Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the role of the acoustic stapedius reflex
in the protection of speech recognition from the upward spread of masking arising from low …

Purpose The study aimed to assess the relationship between the level-dependent function
of efferent inhibition and speech perception in noise across different intensities of …

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the reliability of 3 methods to measure contralateral
suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in children and adults …

O processamento da informação sonora depende da integridade das vias auditivas
aferentes e eferentes. O sistema auditivo eferente pode ser avaliado por meio dos reflexos …

Active mechanisms that regulate cochlear gain are hypothesized to influence speech-in-
noise perception. However, evidence of a relationship between the amount of cochlear gain …

Hair cells in both the auditory and vestibular systems receive efferent innervation. A number
of prior studies have indicated that efferent regulation serves to diminish the overall …

Behavioural studies suggest a role for the medial olivocochlear (MOC) system in improving
detection and discrimination of signals in noise. Physiological studies in the cochlea support …

In people with normal hearing (NH), speech perception in noise (SPIN) improves when the
speech signal is presented not gated with noise but after a delay. The medial olivocochlear …

The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) modifies cochlear amplifier function to improve
encoding of signals in static noise, but conflicting results have been reported regarding how …
