Top-Down Cognitive and Linguistic Influences on the Suppression of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions [PDF]
Auditory sensation is often thought of as a bottom-up process, yet the brain exerts top-down control to affect how and what we hear. We report the discovery that the magnitude of top-down influence varies across individuals as a result of differences in ...

Effects of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions on frequency discrimination [PDF]
When an external tone is presented in proximity to the frequency of a spontaneous otoacoustic emission (SOAE), the SOAE typically synchronizes to the external tone, a phenomenon known as “entrainment”. As the tone moves further away from the SOAE frequency, beating patterns between the SOAE and the pure tone occur [Long, Hear. Res. 119 (1998)].

Interactions between hair cells shape spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in a model of the tokay gecko's cochlea. [PDF]
The hearing of tetrapods including humans is enhanced by an active process that amplifies the mechanical inputs associated with sound, sharpens frequency selectivity, and compresses the range of responsiveness.

Cochlear Function in Individuals with and without Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions [PDF]
Purpose: This study investigated the status of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) on cochlear function in a cohort of male/female participants with a wide age range.

Long-term stability of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions. [PDF]
Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) were measured longitudinally for durations up to 19.5 years. Initial ages of the subjects ranged from 6 to 41 years. The most compelling finding was a decrease in frequency of all emissions in all subjects, which was approximately linear in %/year and averaged 0.25%/year.

Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions in TectaY1870C/+ Mice Reflect Changes in Cochlear Amplification and How It Is Controlled by the Tectorial Membrane. [PDF]
Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) recorded from the ear canal in the absence of sound reflect cochlear amplification, an outer-hair-cell (OHC) process required for the extraordinary sensitivity and frequency selectivity of mammalian hearing ...

Modeling the characteristics of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in lizards
Lizard auditory papillae have proven to be an attractive object for modelling the production of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAE). Here we use an established model (Vilfan and Duke, 2008) and extend it by exploring the effect of varying the number of oscillating elements, the strength of the parameters that describe the coupling between ...

Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions in Tinnitus Patients
AbstractOtoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are believed to be the products of active cochlear mechanics. They are generally associated with relatively intact outer hair cell function. OAEs usually decrease or become undetectable when hearing loss of cochlear origin exceeds 40-50 dB HL.
