Effect of contralateral acoustic stimulation on active cochlear micromechanical properties in human subjects: dependence on stimulus variables

Abstract: 1. Outer hair cells (OHCs) have active micromechanical properties that are thought to be the origin of evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs). In the present study, click-evoked otoacoustic emissions were recorded in humans with or without various contralateral acoustic stimulations. A previous study, concentrating on contralateral stimulation with broadband noise, had shown a decrease of the EOAE amplitude in humans. Results support a role for the efferent system in cochlear mechanics; indeed, medial efferent n… Show more

“…To date, the majority of studies using OAEs to study MOC reflex in humans have only indirectly addressed the problem of MEM reflex. For instance, Veuillet et al (1991Veuillet et al ( , 1992 inferred the lack of MEM contamination from the observation that similar changes in emissions were found in subjects with elevated or absent acoustic reflex thresholds. The observation that a broadband acoustic-noise activator generates more suppression of OAEs at low than high activator levels has been interpreted to mean that the effect of the MEM is negligible (Hood et al, 1996(Hood et al, , 2003Veuillet et al, 1991).…”

The observation that the effects of the acoustic activator are somewhat frequency specific (Liberman, 1989) has been used to argue against substantial MEM contamination ( Maison et al, 1997Maison et al, , 1999Mott et al, 1989;Collet et al, 1990).…”

“…De Ceulaer et al (2001) presented the first measured distribution of MOCR strengths across individuals using otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). However, it is uncer-tain how much their results are affected by MOC activity evoked by their test clicks (Veuillet et al 1991;Guinan et al 2003) and by their use of the Bnonlinear click method^, which misses the linear part of the MOCR effect. Furthermore, a major drawback of the De Ceulaer study is that no mention is made of how repeatable the measurements were on each individual.…”
