Abstract:This is a continuation of a study examining the relationship between cochlear hearing loss and psychoacoustic measures thought to be related to a cochlear function. In the listeners tested, audiometric thresholds for long tones ranged from well within the clinically normal range to just outside this range. Where thresholds were elevated, other clinical tests were consistent with a cochlear origin. Because the medial olivocochlear reflex decreases cochlear gain in response to sound, when possible, measures were… Show more
