    - prosody
    - intonation
  6. Binaural integration
  7. Binaural separation
  8. Following simple and complex multi-step directions
34
Q

Localization

A
  • localize where the sounds are; turn in the right direction to the noise
35
Q

Speech understanding in noise

A
  • able to hear teacher in classroom while other noises are going on
36
Q

Auditory closure

A
  • our ability to fill in the gaps of a conversation
37
Q

Auditory memory

A
  • our ability to remember things auditorally
38
Q

What are the 2 temporal aspects of speech?

A
  • prosody

- intonation

39
Q

Binaural integration

A
  • SAC
  • inferior colliculus
  • able to integrate information coming from both ears
40
Q

Binaural separation

A
  • the ability to separate what is going on in the left ear and the right ear at the same time. Ex. someone is talking to you while you are on the phone.
41
Q

Following simple and complex multi-step directions

A
  • following directions given to you auditorally
42
Q

What are the nonpathological variables that affect EOAEs.

A
  1. probe fit
  2. noise floor (internal and external)
  3. ear differences
  4. age
  5. gender
  6. suppression effects of the OCB
43
Q

A
  • around 18 to 20 dB SPL
44

45
Q

What is the average TEOAE values for an adult female?

A
  • around 10 to 15dB SPL
46
Q

Another criteria for autoacoustic emissions?

A
  • autoacoustic emission has to be 6db higher than the biological flow
47
Q

If TEOAEs are given in a quiet condition minus TEOAE noise condition, with 13dB SPL is in quiet and 10dB SPL in noise. What is the level of suppression?

A
  • suppression effect in dB SPL = 3 dB SPL
48
Q

What is normal level of suppression effect equivalent to?

A
  • normal functioning in the efferent system
49
Q

What kind of efferent system exists with below normal suppression?

A
  • inefficient efferent system
50
Q

What results from an inefficient efferent system?

A
  • difficulty hearing in noise
51
Q

What types of clients would you expect to have below normal suppression effect?

A
  • common complaint with aging clients (presbycusis)

- children with auditory processing disorder (APD)

52
Q

What was the research objective for Dr. Partha’s experiment 1?

A
  • evaluate the effect of age on TEOAEs amplitude by controlling for the degree of peripheral HI
53
Q

What was the research objective for Dr. Partha’s experiement 2?

A
  • evaluate changes in the contralateral suppression effect as a function of age in TEOAEs amplitude at varying levels of BBN (40-70dB)
54
Q

Explain the method subject criteria.

A

Audiometric selection criteria
- 20 dB HL or Less (0.25 - 8.0 kHz)
- normal tymps, ipsilateral and contralateral reflexes
- SD (quiet): 90% or more
Negative History
- ototoxic drug treatment; noise exposure and middle ear disease

55
Q

Fourier analysis?

A
  • amplitude over frequency
56
Q

What was the conclusion for Experiment 1?

A
  • when the degree of peripheral HI is controlled, the effect of age in TEOAEs amplitude is clinically insignificant
  • age-adjusted norms are not required in the clinical interpretation of TOEAs amplitude
