Q

When there is a greater change in length of the OHCs, what does that mean?

A

There is more stereocilia bending, more transduction and greater response

Q

What do IHCs do?

A

They serve as the actual sensory receptors of hearing
Transform sound vibrations present in cochlear fluids into electrical signals that can then travel the auditory nerve to the brainstem and auditory cortex

Q

What are spontaneous OAEs?

A

They are emissions that are not evoked
They occur naturally
They only occur in normal cochleas
Only occur in about 60% of normal ears

Q

What are transient evoked OAEs?

A

Present in individuals with normal hearing
Click stimuli (broad band)
Broad band responses
500 to 4000 or 5000 Hz
Amplitude averages 10-12 dB SPL in young adults

Q

Can TEOAEs be used to screen infant hearing?

A

Yes

17
Q

Can TEOAEs be used to validate thresholds?

A

Yes

18
Q

Can TEOAEs be used to assess cochlear function relative to the site of lesion?

A

Yes

19
Q

Is there frequency specificity for TEOAEs?

A

Limited
Response is broad

20
Q

What are distortion product OAEs?

A

2F1-F2 results in the best emissions in humans
Two pure tones are presented simultaneously

21
Q

What does 2F1-F2 tell us?

A

It gives us a 3rd frequency that is the one that comes out of the cochlea

22
Q

Is the presence of DPOAEs dependent on hearing sensitivity in the region of the primaries?

A

Yes

23
Q

Can DPOAEs be used to screen infant hearing?

A

Yes

24
Q

Can DPOAEs be used to validate behavioral thresholds?

A

Yes

25
Q

Can DPOAEs be used to assess cochlear function relative to site of lesion?

A

Yes

26
Q

Can DPOAEs be used for ototoxic monitoring?

A

Yes

27
Q

Do DPOAEs have greater frequency specificity?

A

Yes

28
Q

What are stimulus frequency OAEs?

A

Newer, less common
Not clinically used
Measuring the stimulus and the emission and picking up the difference between them

29
Q

Are OAEs used clinically to evaluate the health of the inner ear?

A

Yes

30
Q

What are some non-pathologic factors that can influence OAEs?

A

Age
Gender
Ear difference
Diurnal effects (sleep-wake cycle)
Genetics
Race
Body temp
Body position
State of arousal and attention
Poor probe placement
Ear canal acoustics/standing waves
Debris, cerumen, foreign objects
Uncooperative patient
Noise

31
Q

How to minimize the effect of noise on OAEs?

A

A deep and secure probe fit
An adequate number of stimulus repetitions
Appropriate stopping criteria
Emphasis on or exclusive presentation of signals at frequencies higher than 1 kHz
A protocol that presents signals from higher to lower frequencies (DPOAE)
