OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of perinatal asphyxia on the level of the response to transient otoacoustic emissions in infants. METHODS Otoacoustic emissions in 154 neonates were performed: 54 infants who suffered asphyxia at birth, measured by Apgar score and medical diagnosis, and 100 infants without risk were compared. Scores less than 4 in the first minute and/or less than 6 in the fi...

Background: Loss of hearing is a non-visible disability (NVD) and the second most common congenital pathology. Apart from hearing loss, further disability in these domains has been reported like development of language, speech, cognition, and other evolving domains. These can be prevented by early identification and intervention. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of neonatal hear...

Biometrics, which has become integrated with our daily lives, could fall prey to falsification attacks, leading security concerns. In paper, we use Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) that are generated by the human cochlea in response an external sound stimulus, as a biometric modality. TEOAE robust uniqueness of individual’s inner ear cannot be impersonated. this study, both raw 1D...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to measure gender-related changes of otoacoustic emissions level in subjects with normal hearing in tonal audiometry. MATERIAL AND METHODS Click evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were recorded in 146 (n = 292 ears) subjects. Otoacoustic emissions were recorded in response to nonlinear clicks...

We investigated the effect of contralateral suppression of linear transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in 16 preterm children born with risk factors for hearing loss. We evaluated those children, together with a control group of term children, at 8–10 years of age. The magnitude of the TEOAE suppression effect in both ears was significantly smaller in the preterm children than in the...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to investigate the effect of active listening and listening effort on the contralateral suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (CSTEOAEs). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty eight young adults participated in the study. Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) were recorded using 'linear' clicks at 60 dB peSPL, in three contrala...
