The sensitivity of the auditory system is regulated via two major efferent pathways: the
medial olivocochlear system that connects to the outer hair cells, and by the middle ear …

Objectives: The objective of the study was to quantify inter-subject variability in the
dependence of the medial-olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) on noise bandwidth. Of specific …

Objective The medial olivocochlear (MOC) reflex provides unmasking of sounds in noise,
but its contribution to speech-in-noise perception remains unclear due to conflicting results …

Auditory perception is facilitated by prior knowledge about the statistics of the acoustic
environment. Predictions about upcoming auditory stimuli are processed at various stages …

The human auditory system is exceptional at comprehending an individual speaker even in
complex acoustic environments. Because the inner ear, or cochlea, possesses an active …

The forward pressure has been proposed as an “optimal” reflectance-based quantity for
delivering stimuli to the ear during evoked otoacoustic-emission measurements and …

Chapter 4 ended with the remark that the formation of an auditory unit can be strongly
affected by sound components that precede and follow that auditory unit. This chapter …

Our knowledge of which physiological mechanisms shape transient evoked otoacoustic
emissions (TEOAEs) is incomplete, although thousands of TEOAEs are recorded each day …

Purpose: In clinical practice, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are interpreted as either
“present” or “absent.” However, OAEs have the potential to inform about etiology and …

Ignoring background sounds while focusing on a visual task is a necessary ability in
everyday life. If attentional resources are shared between modalities, processing of task …
