Objective: Assessments of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) may have clinical utility.
The MOCR is measured using contralateral inhibition of otoacoustic emissions but …

The auditory sensory organs appear to be less damaged by exposure to high-level noise
that is presented after exposure to non-traumatizing low-level noise. This phenomenon is …

Background Contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) may serve as an
index of the medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex. To date, this index has been studied in …

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 …

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 …

This electrophysiological study investigated the role of the medial olivocochlear (MOC)
efferents in listening in noise. Both ears of eleven normal-hearing adult participants were …

2. Method 2.1. Participants Sixteen volunteers (seven males and nine females) aged 21–32
years (mean= 23.8, standard deviation= 2.7) participated in the study. All ears that had …

Purpose No study has investigated the effects of contralateral noise (CN) on speech-in-
noise perception (SINP) in listeners with tinnitus. The mechanisms underlying the …

Purpose The medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex enhances neural encoding of signals in
noise, and measurement of its function may hold clinical utility. Previous research on how …

From a computational perspective much can be learned from studying the brain. For auditory
processing three biological attributes are presented as being responsible for good hearing …
