One of the putative functions of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) system is to enhance signal
detection in noise. The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of the MOC system in …

The medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system modifies cochlear output to aid signal
detection in noise, but the precise role of efferents in speech-in-noise understanding …

Objectives: The medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system can modify cochlear function to
improve sound detection in noise, but its role in speech perception in noise is unclear. The …

Research suggests that college-aged adults are vulnerable to tinnitus and hearing loss due
to exposure to traumatic levels of noise on a regular basis. Recent human studies have …

The medial olivocochlear (MOC) bundle reduces the gain of the cochlear amplifier through
reflexive activation by sound. Physiological results indicate that MOC-induced reduction in …

The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) modulates cochlear amplifier gain and is thought to
facilitate the detection of signals in noise. High-resolution distortion product otoacoustic …

Inhibition of cochlear amplifier gain by the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system has
several putative roles: aiding listening in noise, protection against damage from acoustic …

The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) has been implicated in several auditory processes.
The putative role of the MOCR in improving speech perception in noise is particularly …

A clinical test for the strength of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) might be valuable
as a predictor of individuals at risk for acoustic trauma or for explaining why some people …

Background: One purported role of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system is to
reduce the effects of masking noise. MOC system functioning can be evaluated …
