Reading and speech-in-noise perception, fundamental aspects of human communication,
have been linked to neural indices of auditory brainstem function. However, how these …

In this chapter we deal with the ways in which the two olivocochlear (OC) efferent systems,
the medial (MOC) and lateral (LOC) systems, change the operation of the cochlea and how …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that active listening to speech
would increase medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent activity for the right vs. the left ear …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in distortion product
otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) level elicited by contralateral noise in children with normal …

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 …

Objective: To assess the suitability of contralateral suppression (CS) of distortion product
otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) for measurement of activity of the medial olivocochlear …

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lengthening the transition duration of
selected speech segments upon the perception of those segments in individuals with …

An acceptable acoustical environment is necessary for effective communication and
learning. Children who experience abnormally poor speech perception in noise, including …

Abstract Background and Aim: To date, the function of auditory efferent system remains
unclear. There is evidence that medial olivocochlear bundle receives descending input from …
