Q

What are the advantages of SOAEs (2)

A
  • Passive response
  • Energy comes from central auditory system, in the form of resonators at different frequencies giving accurate pitch and intensity discrimination

Q

How are TEOAEs generated

A

The majortiy of the emissions are generated from the motility of the outer hair cells, only a minor portion from the stereocilia.

Q

How do you measure TEOAEs

A

Start recording 3ms after the stimulus is played to separate the noise from the signal. Noise is random and the signal is correlated, this is how we separate the noise from the response.

A
  1. High specificity
  2. Can be used to diagnose Meniere’s disease and Presbycusis
  3. It does not require a behavioural response
  4. Frequency specific
  5. Best for detecting auditory dysfunction below 3 kHz
  6. Provides a overview of cochlear activity

Q

What are the disadvantages of TEOAEs (5)

A
  1. Fails may be false positive
  2. he test is affected by ambient and physiological noise
  3. Infants have a higher failure rate (10%)
  4. Impacted by ear canal size, probe fit, ME function, calibration
  5. Too sensitive to cochlear conditions in older adults

Q

What are the TEOAE pass criteria screening for adults and children (3)

A
  1. Pass result is a response that exceeds the noise floor by 3 dB or more
  2. 4 out of 5 frequencies
  3. Reproducibility of 70%

Q

How do you measure DPOAEs

A

Stimulus is made up of a pair of tones and the outcome is a distortion product. A filter is used for f1 and f2 and neighbouring bins set outside of the filter collects the frequencies of the noise. This separate the noise from the signal.

Q

What are the advantages of DPOAEs (4)

A
  1. Measures up to 8 kHz
  2. Has higher cut-off for losses (>35-60 dB)
  3. Best at detecting auditory dysfunction above 3kHz
  4. Provides a snapshot of the cochlear

Q

What are the disadvantages of DPOAEs (3)

Q

How do pathologies impact on DPOAEs (4)

A
  1. Conductive pathology impacts low frequencies
  2. SNHL impacts high frequencies
  3. ET dysfunction (negative ME pressure) low frequencies
  4. Retrocochlear does not impact results

16
Q

What is a sensory transmissive loss and how big is the loss

A

OHC dysfunction (no OAEs) causing elevated hearing thresholds (36-60 dB)

17
Q

What is a sensory transduction loss and and how big is the loss

A

Dysfunction of IHC because IC fail to respond and activate synapsed auditory nerves. This could cause any degree of loss.

18
Q

What types of stimulus are used for TEOAEs and what are they

A
  1. Click or tone bursts
  2. One full click contains 2 sets of 4 sub-clicks.
  3. Three identical and the fourth inverted (fourth click is 3 x greater amplitude)
  4. Each sub-click is of 0.08ms duration
19
Q

What type of stimulus is used for DPOAEs

A

Two pure tones of different frequencies

20
Q

TEOAEs and conductive losses

A

TEOAEs are reduced in the low f more than high f and are absent in ears with a mild-conductive loss

21
Q

TEOAEs and sensory losses

A
  • OHC dysfunction would result in reduced or absent OAEs when thesholds are elevated by 35-60 dB HL.
  • High f are highly vulnerable to noise damade, ototoxic drugs
22
Q

TEOAEs and retrocochlear losses

A
  • OAEs are expected to be present in sensory losses with IHC dysfunction, neural and central losses
  • OAEs can be present or absent with an acoustic neuroma depending on blood supply to the cochlear
23
Q

TEOAE pass criteria for diagnostic purposes (2)

A
  1. 3dB (adults and children) 6 dB (infants)

2. All test frequencies

24
Q

How can you have normal TEOAEs and poor hearing

A

Poor hearing is due to IHC damage, or retrocochlear lesion or ANSD

25
Q

DPOAEs and conductive losses

A

Absent with losses >20 dB
