Feedback networks in the brain regulate downstream auditory function as peripheral as the
cochlea. However, the upstream neural consequences of this peripheral regulation are less …

The peripheral auditory system is influenced by the medial olivocochlear (MOC) and middle
ear muscle (MEM) reflexes. When elicited by contralateral acoustic stimulation (CAS), these …

Purpose The role of the medial olivocochlear system in speech perception in noise has
been debated over the years, with studies showing mixed results. One possible reason for …

Objective The medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex provides unmasking of sounds in noise,
but its contribution to speech-in-noise perception remains unclear due to conflicting results …

Auditory experience plays a critical role in hearing development. Developmental auditory
deprivation because of otitis media, a common childhood disease, produces long-standing …

The arrangement of sound in different sequences is necessary for the great art of music. It is
composed of precisely scheduled quasi-periodic segments of rich harmonic complexity …

The aim of the article was to compare the conditions of silent and contralateral noise on the
temporal processing parameters. A total of 40 participants (20 males and 20 females) were …

Objective So far, binaural summation for speech stimuli has been less evaluated in the
literature, without the head shadow effect and spatial release from masking. Moreover, the …

Purpose. All human beings, regardless of whether they have hearing impairments or not,
face difficulties in detecting signals in the presence of background noise. To cope with such …

The medial olivocochlear bundle responds to acoustic stimuli and suppresses outer hair cell
gain. This reflex response is called the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) and improves …
