Term
Otoacoustic Emissions:
-Checks ___ hair cells
-___ measure
-Stimulated through ___ pathway
-Physiologic measures: ABR, tympanometry, acoustic reflexes...any objective measure-have to have a normal ___ ear function in order to obtain these (except ABR)-___ patient-can be done on anyone who is sedated, intoxicated, in a coma etc.
Definition
inner; Physiologic; acoustic; middle; cooperative
Term
ABR doesn't truly test your ___ (good neural syncrity)-non of these tests do
Definition
hearing
Term
Sounds that result from energy generated in
the cochlea that are propagated through the
middle ear and into the ear canal
Definition
Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)
Term
-OAEs are a __-___ phenomenon (happens within the cochlea)
-Can be measured even when ___ nerve is severed
-Unaffected by stimulus ___
-___ reverses when stimulus polarity reversed
-Vulnerable to ___ ___, hypoxia, ___ ___ (Damage shows up in the ___ HC first and then in the ___ HC; vulnerable to ___ deprivation)
Definition
pre-neural; eighth; rate; Polarity; acoustic trauma; otoxic
medications; outer; inner; oxygen
Term
-___ ___ of OHCs-what causes the response we can measure
-Nonlinear mechanics of the OHC stereocilia bundle-It's the steriocilia ___ that actually give us the response
Definition
Somatic motility; bending
Term
Generation Mechanisms:
-Nonlinear ___ distortion within the cochlea, resulting from OHC movement
-___ emissions
-What we measure is thought to be a ___ of energy from both
Definition
electromechanical; Reflection; combination
Term
Types of OAEs:
-___-No stimulus-some people will still elicit a response
-___-___: you use a single frequency to elicit a response; mainly used for research
-___ ___-Used in clinic; short term stimulus; more general, shorter frequency range
-___ ___-used in clinic; 2 different frequencies to elicit a 3rd frequency
Definition
Spontaneous; Stimulus-Frequency; Transient Evoked; Distortion Product
Term
Spontaneous:
-Measured in absence of ___ stimulation
-Measured in approximately __% of normal
hearing children and adults
-Not useful ___ since only measurable in
approximately 50% of those with normal
hearing
-Used in ___; not clinically used; doesn't give us ___ info
Definition
external; 50; clinically; research; diagnostic
Term
Stimulus Frequency:
-Occur at same frequency as ___ applied
to ear
-Used to examine cochlear ___, cochlear ___, ___ auditory system
-Not used ___ at this time
Definition
puretone; function; tuning; efferent; clinically
Term
Transient Evoked:
-First type reported in literature
-Measured following presentation of ___
or ___ signal
-___ or ___ presented to ear, response
occurs shortly thereafter
-Uses time-___ averaging
-First few milliseconds of recording discarded
due to stimulus ___
Definition
transient; brief; Click; toneburst; synchronous; artifact
Term
DPOAEs:
-Measured ___ with presentation of
two puretone stimuli
-Frequencies of primaries are designated as ___
and ___
-Levels of f1 and f2 are labeled as L1 and L2
-F1 and F2 are frequencies but they vary depending on what ___ you are measuring
Definition
simultaneously; f1; f2; frequency
Term
Parameters:
-f2/f1 ratio of ___ (usually default setting)
-Used because when averaged across ___ people, largest DPOAE levels obtained
-Individual responses may be ___ with different f2/f1 ratio
-Settings for L1 and L2 are optimal when L2 is
___ to ___ dB less than L1 (example 65/55)
Definition
1.2; many; greater; 10 to 15
Term
Characteristics of DPOAEs:
-___ in infancy compared to adulthood, but no age specific norms
-Differences may be related to anatomical changes in ___ or ___ ear that occur with development
-Aging studies frequently compounded by ___ ___
Definition
Larger; outer; middle; hearing loss
Term
Clinical Application:
-Need to assess ___ ear before interpreting
-Does not ___ normal hearing from hearing loss groups perfectly
-Good seal is needed to lower ___ ___
-Negative middle ear pressure may only reduce emissions in frequencies below ___ Hz
-can't declare that there is normal ME function without both ___ and ___
Definition
middle; separate; noise floor; 1000; tympanometry; reflexes
Term
TEOAEs:
-Ability to separate normal and hearing impaired ears is ___
-Frequency range ___-___ Hz
-Signal level ___-___ dB peSPL
-pe=___
-Needs to be set to newborn when you are testing a newborn or you could get ___
Definition
good; 500-4000; 30-90; peak; artifact
Term
DPOAEs:
-Frequency range ___-___ Hz
-Signal level ___-___ dB SPL
Definition
500-8000; 40-70
Term
Analysis:
-Analyze by frequency as:
○ ___
○ Present but ___ or ___
○ ___
-Present within ___% confidence interval (varies based on equipment and settings)
-At least __ dB between signal and noise floor
Definition
Normal; abnormal; reduced; Absent; 95; 6
