A TEOAE platform based on a sound card with high resolution
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes some design aspect of an otoacoustic emissions (OAE) instrument for hearing assessment by using a personal computer and its affiliated sound card. The instrument functionality are achieved by means of virtual instrumentation programmed with LabVIEW utilities. Such OAE instrument is of high quality but relatively inexpensive , and has the potential for laboratory research and clinical practice.

A new method for acquisition and analysis of single unit recording data
Single unit recording has been used as a well-known technique to study the electrical behavior of neurons. In this respect, the classical methods are rather expensive. In this study a simple and inexpensive method for single unit recording studies has been introduced. Computer sound card was used for data acquisition. Neural responses were saved via simple sound applicable packages and then ana...
متن کاملOtoacoustic emissions and pass/fail separation using artificial neural network
Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) are low-level sounds produced by the healthy inner ear in response to a transient stimulus such as a short acoustic click 1. It is believed that outer hair cells within the cochlea are involved in complex active amplification mechanisms of weak incoming sound vibrations. The TEOAE generation is assumed to be a partial product of this amplification ...
متن کاملTemporary changes in hearing after exposure to shooting noise.
OBJECTIVES Firearm is a common source of impulse noise that may potentially damage hearing organ. It has been suggested that otoacoustic emissions, particularly transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), might be more sensitive than pure-tone audiometry (PTA) in the assessment of changes to cochlea caused by noise. The aim of this study was to: (i) evaluate exposure to impulse noise from s...
متن کاملImplementation of Face Recognition Algorithm on Fields Programmable Gate Array Card
The evolution of today's application technologies requires a certain level of robustness, reliability and ease of integration. We choose the Fields Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) hardware description language to implement the facial recognition algorithm based on "Eigen faces" using Principal Component Analysis. In this paper, we first present an overview of the PCA used for facial recognition,...
