Predictors of hearing threshold levels and distortion product otoacoustic emissions among noise exposed young adults.
AIM To examine the relations between noise exposure and other risk factors with hearing function as measured by audiometric thresholds and distortion product otoacoustic emissions. METHODS A total of 456 subjects were studied (393 apprentices in construction trades and 63 graduate students). Hearing and peripheral auditory function were quantified using standard, automated threshold audiometr...
متن کاملSensitivity of distortion product otoacoustic emissions in noise-exposed chinchillas.
The present study investigates the effect of small amounts of outer hair cell (OHC) loss on distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) levels and evoked potential permanent threshold shifts (PTS) in a population of 12 noise-exposed chinchillas. The group mean DPOAE level, which decreased by up to approximately 15 dB in the presence of less than 8 dB PTS and 15% OHC loss, indicates that DPO...
متن کاملOtoacoustic emissions growth rate threshold: distortion product in neonates.
BACKGROUND Distortion product otoacoustic emission measures (DPOAE) verifies, among other characteristics, the emergence and growth rate of the DPOAE response according to sound stimulus intensity (growth curve). AIM To estimate the DPOAE threshold in neonates according to the DPOAE growth curve at 2 kHz and 4 kHz, with stimulus presentation ranging between 35 and 70 dB SPL. METHOD Particip...
متن کاملDistortion product otoacoustic emissions in normally hearing subjects.
The finding of active function by the outer hair cells for sound processing prior to neural transduction in the inner hair cells represents the basic mechanism for the generation of Otoacoustic Emissions in the cochlea. Among them the so-called Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions represent a tool for an in depth knowledge of the Organ of Corti micromechanics, more advantageous than others,...
متن کاملHigh-frequency hearing influences lower-frequency distortion-product otoacoustic emissions.
OBJECTIVES The primary goal of this study was to test the ability of 2f1-f2 distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) to detect reduced cochlear function in the presence of normal behavioral sensitivity. DESIGN A prospective study was performed in normal-hearing young adults using simple and complex regression analyses to clarify the relationship between ultra-high frequency (UHF) hea...
