Objective: Short-term noise exposure that induces transient changes in thresholds has
induced permanent cochlear synaptopathy in multiple species. Here, the literature was …

Cholinergic efferent neurons originating in the brainstem innervate the acoustico-lateralis
organs (inner ear, lateral line) of vertebrates. These release acetylcholine (ACh) to inhibit …

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 …

Objective: The objectives were to investigate the function of central auditory pathways and of
the medial efferent olivocochlear system (MOCS). Design: Event-related potentials (ERP) …

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 …

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 …

In parallel with the auditory afferent system, the auditory efferent system is active in all parts
of the auditory pathways from auditory cortex to the cochlea. The auditory efferent system …

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 …

Abstract Background and Aim: Most of human communications occur in the form of speech,
and an important part of the auditory assessment is performed by a speech stimulus. There …
