Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)
Faint acoustical signals originating from the inner ear but can be detected in ear canal
They can occur spontaneously (SOAEs) Can occur during and after stimulation of the
ear In general, healthy ears produce OAEs,
whereas hearing-impaired ears do not

Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs)
OAEs are a by-product of the active mechanism of the inner ear (Probst et al., 1991)
When OHCs are damaged, the active mechanism is reduced in effectiveness or lost altogether
Compressive nonlinearity is associated with the active cochlear process
![Page 9: Effects of Low-Frequency Bias Tones on Stimulus-Frequency Otoacoustic Emissions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568145a4550346895db29842/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What does “compressive nonlinearity” mean?

Previous studies
Low-frequency biasing technique used to assess the dynamic nonlinearity of the inner ear
The bias tone can shift the cochlear partition. This produced an amplitude modulation of DPOAEs (Bian et al., 2002, 2007; Bian, 2004)

Organ of Corti

Biasing the cochlear partition

Question: Can the biasing technique be applied to SFOAEs?
SFOAEs evoked in response to a single external tone
Measuring SFOAEs presents a unique challenge. As the name implies…
The emission is at the same frequency as the stimulus (or probe) tone
![Page 16: Effects of Low-Frequency Bias Tones on Stimulus-Frequency Otoacoustic Emissions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051621/568145a4550346895db29842/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DPOAE visiblevia spectral
analysis
SFOAEcannot be
“seen”

Question: Can the biasing technique be applied to SFOAEs?
Cannot “see” the emission Separating a minute signal (i.e.,the emission)
requires an indirect method Can we study the effects of amplitude
modulating the SFOAE with a bias tone? More theory (oh boy!) and a hardware model

Question: Can the biasing technique be applied to SFOAEs?
We have a mathematical foundation We have a working hardware model Now all we need… are human ears!

Summary
Noninvasive nature of biasing technique—shows potential as a research tool and development of new clinical applications
Normal and impaired ears can be tested—potentially be applied in the differential diagnosis of cochlear pathologies
Just the beginning—present assay can be expanded upon
