Evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAE) and bone conduction stimulation. A preliminary report.

Otoacoustic emissions were evoked (EOAE) in 6 normal-hearing subjects by both bone (BCS) and air conduction stimulation (ACS). Four subjects affected by unilateral otosclerosis were also examined in order to determine the role of the ossicular chain in EOAE transmission to the eardrum. In normal-hearing subjects, EOAE by BCS showed the same characteristics as those evoked by ACS. The morphological features remained unchanged over a period of 4 months and their amplitude increased non-linearly with increasing stimulus intensity. In subjects with unilateral otosclerosis before surgery, no EOAE could be elicited by ACS from the otosclerotic ear, whereas they could be recorded by BCS. After stapedectomy, EOAE could be obtained by ACS too. These results suggest that the ossicular chain is important but not essential in the transfer of the EOAE to the eardrum.

Normal brief-tone bone-conduction behavioral thresholds using the B-71 transducer: three occlusion conditions.

Behavioral thresholds were measured from 31 adults with normal hearing for 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz brief tones presented using a B-71 bone oscillator. Three occlusion conditions were assessed: ears unoccluded, one ear occluded, and both ears occluded. Mean threshold force levels were 67, 54, 49, and 41 dB re:1 microN peak-to-peak equivalent in the unoccluded condition for 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz, respectively (corrected for air-conduction pure-tone thresholds). A significant occlusion effect was observed for 500 and 1000 Hz stimuli. These thresholds may be used as the 0 dB nHL (normal-hearing level) for brief-tone bone-conduction stimuli for auditory brainstem response testing.
