Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Test-retest Reliability of Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions in the High Frequency Range submitted by NG, Hoi-Yee Iris for the degree of Master of Science in Audiology at the University of Hong Kong in May 2002 In the current research study, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were measured in 35 young Chinese adults (61 ears) with normal audiometric thresholds using an ILO96 OAE system with the default DP-gram protocols as well as user-defined DP spectrum protocols in the high frequency range. Two series of retest were conducted 20 minutes and an average of 15 days later, and the resolution setting for the DP-gram measurements was varied between 1 to 8 points per octave in each test series. Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) were also recorded in each test series for comparison purposes. Test-retest partial correlation and standard error of measurement (SEM) were computed to reflect the test-retest reliability of the OAE amplitudes, noise floor and signal-to-noise ratio. Results suggested that OAE amplitudes in the default frequency range (1 to 6 kHz) between test and retest were highly correlated with an average correlation coefficient of 0.85 and SEM was found to be an average of 2.4 dB, while signal-to-noise ratio and noise floor yielded lower correlation coefficients and higher SEMs. OAE amplitudes in the higher frequency range of 6.5 to 7 kHz were also significantly correlated between test and retest (correlation coefficient ranged from 0.74 to 0.80) with SEM from 2.7 to 3.5 dB. Yet DPOAEs at 8 kHz were present with a positive signal-to-noise ratio in only one-third of ears, were less test-retest correlated, and the amplitude revealed a high SEM of 5 dB. No apparent difference was demonstrated among various resolution settings and between short- and long- term retest. This implies that DPOAEs in the high frequency range (6.5 to 7 kHz) could be a potential clinical tool for monitoring cochlear functioning in cases such as exposure to ototoxic medication or noise. vii DOI: 10.5353/th_b2701474 Subjects: Otoacoustic emissions Hearing - Measurement

This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cochlea produces recordable acoustic energy (otoacoustic emissions). These otoacoustic emissions occur spontaneously or can be evoked. Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) are produced by the intermodulation between the primary stimulus tones (f2 > f1) and occur at frequencies not present in the evoking acoustic stimuli. The 2f1-f2 DPOAE is well characterized for frequencies less than 8 kHz in humans; however, most basilar membrane measurements in animals have been made at higher frequencies. Thus, DPOAE measurements were extended to the higher frequency range of human hearing. High-frequency DPOAEs were characterized by how the DPOAE level varied with primary frequency separations (f2/f1) and stimulus levels and how the group delay estimate of the DPOAE varied with primary frequency. It was concluded that high-frequency DPOAEs continued the patterns seen for low-frequency DPOAEs, indicating that high-frequency DPOAEs are the result of the same biological process responsible for low-frequency DPOAEs.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequency specificity of the contralateral suppression effect as demonstrated in DPOAEs was measured in 20 adult participants using contralateral stimuli consisting of white noise, and. 5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz tones with presentation levels of 40, 50, and 60 dB SPL. A significant suppression effect was found with white noise in the low frequencies (1.125 to 2.531 kHz) as well as higher frequencies (5.062 to 6.328 kHz). While not reaching a level of significance, 2 and 3 kHz demonstrated a similar suppression as white noise in the higher frequencies (5.062 to 6.328 kHz) and a non-significant enhancement effect was observed in the low frequencies (2.015 to 2. 812 kHz). Future studies of contralateral suppression should examine BBN with various high frequency cut offs in order to more fully examine these phenomenon.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In clinical practice, Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) are used to assess hearing impairments in several cohorts. The TEOAE can be evoked in healthy cochlea by presenting a brief auditory stimulus in the form of a series of clicks. Similarly, TEOAE signals can be suppressed in the ipsilateral ear by presenting an alternative sound to the contralateral ear through stimulation of either the medial olivo-cochlear (MOC) reflex or acoustic reflex (AR). The suppression effect results from either due to attenuation of the otoacoustic emissions generation through the activation of MOC reflex or due to the obliteration of their transmission by the activation of middle ear muscle reflex (acoustic reflex). In individuals that suffer from brain injury, such as a concussion, the neuronal pathways that enable CASTEOAE may be disturbed which in turn will restrict the ability to generate TEOAEs and to invoke the contralateral suppression effect. Moreover, since a person performing the test cannot manipulate TEOAE signals, the technique could provide an objective measure of concussion status and severity. The following study was designed to measure the test-retest reliability of the CASTEOAE as a first step in establishing the CASTEOAE phenomenon as an evaluation tool for concussion assessment. A convenience sample of 30 healthy individuals, 16-50 years of age completed the CASTEOAE test on two separate occasions, using a 14-day between test interval. The MOC reflex was activated using broadband noise of 60 dB SPL while the Acoustic Reflex was elicited by presenting a broadband noise of 80 dB SPL to the contralateral ear. The OAE amplitudes were recorded across 5 half octave bands in each ear. The test-retest reliability was estimated with the intraclass correlation coefficient procedure using a one-way random effects model for n=30, k (trials)=2. Confidence intervals for the Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) and measures of homogeneity of variance were also calculated for each condition. The reliability estimates for CASTEOAE test scores were calculated for TEOAE scores with and without contralateral suppression (Primary measures) of the MOC reflex and separately for the acoustic reflex. The ICCs of the total OAE responses for both MOC reflex and acoustic reflex demonstrated as high as 0.9 in both ears and the ICCs of the fractional octave band for the MOC reflex ranged from 0.6 (left ear @1000 Hz) to 0.95 (right ear @ 4000 Hz), and 0.75 (left ear @1000 Hz) to 0.97 (right ear @ 4000 Hz) for the AR. This data suggests that the MOC and AR reflexes were each significantly repeatable upon test and retest in the sample. In addition, CASTEOAE suppression of the acoustic reflex was greater than MOC reflex suppression; and each participant showed unique TEOAE distribution pattern across the 5 half octave frequency bands, which were consistent over time. The results support the use of the CASTEOAE test as a reliable non-invasive approach to evaluate the functional status of the auditory efferent system and its neural connections with the rest of the brain and the use of this stable and objective measure as a clinical tool to assess a concussion injury.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are soft sounds generated by the inner ear and can be recorded within the ear canal. Since OAEs can reflect the functional status of the inner ear, OAE measurements have been widely used for hearing loss screening in the clinic. However, there are limitations in current clinical OAE measurements, such as the restricted frequency range, low efficiency and inaccurate calibration. In this dissertation project, a new method of OAE measurement which used a swept tone to evoke the stimulus frequency OAEs (SFOAEs) was developed to overcome the limitations of current methods. In addition, an in-situ calibration was applied to equalize the spectral level of the swept-tone stimulus at the tympanic membrane (TM). With this method, SFOAEs could be recorded with high resolution over a wide frequency range within one or two minutes. Two experiments were conducted to verify the accuracy of the in-situ calibration and to test the performance of the swept-tone SFOAEs. In experiment I, the calibration of the TM sound pressure was verified in both acoustic cavities and real ears by using a second probe microphone. In addition, the benefits of the in-situ calibration were investigated by measuring OAEs under different calibration conditions. Results showed that the TM pressure could be predicted correctly, and the in-situ calibration provided the most reliable results in OAE measurements. In experiment II, a three-interval paradigm with a tracking-filter technique was used to record the swept-tone SFOAEs in 20 normal-hearing subjects. The test-retest reliability of the swept-tone SFOAEs was examined using a repeated-measure design under various stimulus levels and durations. The accuracy of the swept-tone method was evaluated by comparisons with a standard method using discrete pure tones. Results showed that SFOAEs could be reliably and accurately measured with the swept-tone method. Comparing with the pure-tone approach, the swept-tone method showed significantly improved efficiency. The swept-tone SFOAEs with in-situ calibration may be an alternative of current clinical OAE measurements for more detailed evaluation of inner ear function and accurate diagnosis.
