Book excerpt: Six studies explore how signals going from the brain to parts of the auditory system helps the system perform a number of functions, including adapting to background noise and allowing transients and other brief stimuli to be properly coded. Studies include discussions of the olivocochlear system and protection from acoustic injury, ontogenetic and evolutionary evidence for the motoneuron nature of vestibular and cochlear efferents, de-recruitment by multiband compression in hearing aids, and clinical applications. The CD contains a brief video of hair cell control and damping.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined and compared the effect of the contralateral stimulation of the auditory efferent system on the cochlear microphonics (CM) versus the distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs). The DPOAEs and the CM were recorded from the right ear of 16 normal-hearing young female adults with and without 60 dB sound-pressure-level (SPL) broad band noise (BBN) in the left ear. DPOAEs were obtained at 0.5, 2, and 4 kHz, with L1 = 65 dB SPL and L2 = 50 dB SPL, and f2/f1 ratio = 1.2. The CM was recorded from the right tympanic membrane at 90 dB SPL using three stimuli (click and 0.5 and 2 kHz tone bursts) and two polarities (condensation and rarefaction). Results showed both suppression and enhancement of the DPOAE and the CM responses in the presence of BBN, but the effect was not statistically significant at any of the tested conditions. When the ratio of the suppression or enhancement was used, the effect was marginal for the 2 kHz TB stimulus of the CM. Results also showed a possible relation between the stimulus polarity and the type of effect on the CM. In conclusion, there is some evidence that the efferent system is involved in the suppression and enhancement of the CM, mainly at 2 kHz TB. This might be due to the nature of the CM recording from the basal turn of the cochlea. This study provided the first descriptions of the contralateral suppression of CM in humans. More research is needed to enhance the sensitivity of the CM test methodology to examine the function of the efferent system clinically.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of auditory efferent activity on peripheral physiology may be examined by presenting broadband noise (BBN) to the contralateral ear during otoacoustic emission (OAE) recordings. The presentation of BBN typically produces a reduction of OAE amplitudes in comparison to a condition without BBN. This is termed contralateral suppression. Limited information exists regarding the effects of contralateral BBN on responses observed at higher levels in the auditory system. The present study employed this paradigm to investigate interactions of attention and laterality on the transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE), auditory brainstem response (ABR) and cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP) P1-N1-P2. TEOAEs were evoked by 60 dB SPL clicks; ABRs and CAEPs were evoked by 60 dB SPL 2.0 kHz tone pips in 15 normally hearing adults. Four conditions were employed for each ear: 1) quiet (no noise); 2) 60 dB SPL contralateral BBN; 3) words (at -3 dB SNR) embedded in 60 dB SPL contralateral BBN while subjects classified words as animal versus food items; 4) words from condition #3 played backwards and embedded in 60 dB SPL contralateral BBN. For TEOAEs: 1) more suppression was evident in the active attention condition than the passive listening conditions and 2) right ear OAE amplitudes for the 8-18 ms time period exhibited more suppression in the presence of BBN for all noise conditions, although this did not meet statistical significance. For the ABR experiment, amplitudes in the noise conditions decreased in all epochs for the right ear, but not for the left. For the CAEP experiment, asymmetries were evident in temporal regions and an effect of contralateral noise was evident. The outcome of this investigation suggests that efferent activation by noise and active attention has diverse modulatory effects on electroacoustic and electrophysiologic responses along the auditory pathway.

Download or read book Effect of Prolonged Contralateral Acoustic Stimulation on TEOAE Suppression written by Altelani Van Zyl and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the suppressive effect of the medial olivocochlear system (MOCS) on peripheral auditory active mechanisms is well documented in humans, the effect of efferent inhibition over prolonged periods of acoustic stimulation is less well documented, especially as observed in suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE's). The present study therefore evaluated the relationship between the duration of contralateral acoustic stimulation and the suppression of TEOAE's in ten adults with normal hearing. TEOAE recordings with linear clicks (60 dB sound pressure level) were measured at four intervals during 15 minutes of continuous contralateral white noise (45 dB sound pressure level), followed by two post-noise recordings. An identical within-subject control condition was recorded without contralateral noise. Experimental and control measurements were repeated three times, on separate days. Results revealed significant and sustained TEOAE amplitude reduction for the entire duration of contralateral stimulation. Suppression increased across the duration of contralateral noise, but not sufficiently to be statistically significant. After noise termination, TEOAE amplitudes increased to values significantly above control recordings. The sustained suppression of TEOAE's indicates continuous efferent inhibition over time in normal adults, with a significant increase in TEOAE amplitude after noise cessation possibly indicating increased outer hair cell responsiveness after prolonged contralateral noise.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is becoming increasingly prevalent amongst young adults leading to a whole series of social and public health problems. Genetics and environmental factors frequently influence individual¿̐ưs susceptibility to hearing loss. It is postulated that melanin in the inner ear is related to individual¿̐ưs susceptibility to NIHL. General pigmentation in turn, it is suspected to be related to the amount of pigmentation in the inner ear. The amount of melanin in the inner ear is said to modulate the endocochlear potential and provide an otoprotective effect. The current study aimed to determine the relationship between the contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions (CSOAE) in individuals with different hair and eye colour, and temporary emission shift (TES) after short-term noise exposure. Method: The hearing sensitivity of young adults were determined by using pure tone audiometry followed by CSOAE¿̐ưs and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) before listening to music for one hour individually. Pure tone audiometry and DPOAE¿̐ưs were repeated after short-term music exposure to determine the amount of TES and temporary threshold shift (TTS). Twenty-five normal-hearing adults, ranging from 18 to 28 years (Mean age: 21.64, SD: 1.80) were recruited for the current study. A quasi-experimental repeated within subject¿̐ưs measurement design was used to compare the CSOAE in subjects with different hair and eyes colour with TES after noise exposure for one hour. Results: No statistically significant difference was measured between the participants with brown eyes and brown hair, and the participants blue eyes and blond hair, efferent suppression as measured by CSOAE¿̐ưs. The blue eyes with blond hair had a temporary threshold shift (TTS) at 4000 Hz as well as a TES in at 2000 Hz after short-term noise exposure. Conclusion: CSOAE¿̐ưs were therefore unable to predict which group of individuals were more susceptible to NIHL after short-term noise exposure.
