TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF PSYCHOACOUSTIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASURES OF COCHLEAR GAIN REDUCTION

William Bryan Salloom (12463590) 27 April 2022 (has links)
<p>Humans are able to hear and detect small changes in sound across a wide dynamic range despite limited dynamic ranges of individual auditory nerve fibers. One mechanism that may adjust the dynamic range is the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR), a bilateral sound-activated system which decreases amplification of sound by the outer hair cells in the cochlea. Much of the previous physiological MOCR research has used long broadband noise elicitors. In behavioral measures of gain reduction, a fairly short elicitor has been found to be maximally effective for an on-frequency, tonal elicitor. However, the effect of the duration of broadband noise elicitors on behavioral tasks is unknown. Additionally, MOCR effects measured using otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), have not consistently shown a positive correlation with behavioral gain reduction tasks. This finding seems counterintuitive if both measurements share a common generation mechanism. The current study measured the effects of ipsilateral broadband noise elicitor duration on psychoacoustic gain reduction (Chapter 2) and transient-evoked OAEs (TEOAEs) (Chapter 3) estimated from a forward-masking paradigm. Changes in the TEOAE were measured in terms of magnitude and phase. When phase was accounted for in the TEOAEs, the time constants were approximately equal to the psychoacoustic time constants, and were relatively short (~80 ms). When only changes in TEOAE magnitude were measured, and phase was omitted, the average time constants were longer (~172-ms). Overall, the psychoacoustic and physiological data were consistent with the timecourse of gain reduction by the MOCR. However, when the magnitudes from these data were directly compared in a linear mixed-effects model (Chapter 4), no positive predictive relationship was found, and in some cases there was a significant negative association between the physiological and psychoacoustic measures of gain reduction as a function of elicitor duration. The multitude of factors involved in this relationship are discussed, as are the implications of dynamic range adjustment in everyday listening conditions (noisy backgrounds) in both normal and hearing impaired listeners (Chapter 5).</p>

Supressão das emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulo \"tone burst\" em neonatos com risco para perda auditiva / Otoacoustic emissions suppression with tone burst in neonates at risk for hearing loss

Soares, Jordana Costa 23 June 2008 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: Uma possibilidade de pesquisa em audição é a supressão das emissões otoacústicas, que verifica a diminuição de sua magnitude a partir de estimulação acústica simultânea. Acredita-se que esta diminuição ocorra devido ao papel da via eferente auditiva. OBJETIVO: verificar a atividade do sistema auditivo eferente, por meio da supressão contralateral das emissões otoacústicas, em neonatos com e sem indicadores de risco para perda auditiva. MÉTODO: foram avaliados 21 neonatos com indicadores de risco para perda auditiva (grupo estudo) e 30 neonatos sem indicadores (grupo controle) por meio das emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulo de freqüência específica \"tone burst\" em 2000 e em 4000 hertz, na ausência e na presença de ruído branco contralateral. RESULTADOS: a orelha direita e o grupo controle apresentaram vantagem na amplitude das EOA TB. Os valores médios de \"Response\" para 2000 hertz foram 17,73 dB no grupo controle e 16,55 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero feminino e 16,63 dB no grupo controle e 16,12 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero masculino. Para 4000 hertz, os valores médios de \"Response\" foram 14,63 dB no grupo controle e 15,09 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero feminino e 18,57 dB no grupo controle e 15,06 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero masculino. Na supressão, houve vantagem da orelha direita, do grupo controle para o gênero feminino e do grupo estudo para o gênero masculino, embora sem plena significância estatística. Os valores médios de supressão para a variável \"Response\" em 2000 hertz foram 1,66 dB no grupo controle e 0,84 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero feminino e 1,41 dB no grupo controle e 2,07 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero masculino. Para 4000 hertz, os valores médios da supressão em \"Response\" foram 1,29 dB no grupo controle e 0,98 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero feminino e 1,75 dB no grupo controle e 2,14 dB no grupo estudo, para o gênero masculino. CONCLUSÃO: A partir de estímulos de freqüência específica, em 2000 e em 4000 hertz, foi possível verificar o efeito inibitório da via eferente auditiva sobre a amplitude das EOA, em neonatos. A utilização de estímulos de freqüência específica pode contribuir para a avaliação da função auditiva periférica e central nesta população. / INTRODUCTION: A possible hearing research is the suppression of otoacoustic emissions which verifies a decrease of its magnitude from a simultaneous acoustic stimulation. It is assumed that this decrease occurs because of the role of the auditory efferent pathway. AIM: to verify the activity of the auditory efferent pathway by the contralateral suppression of OAE in neonates with and without risk factors for hearing loss. MEHOD: 21 neonates at risk for hearing loss (study group), and 30 neonates without risk factors for hearing loss (control group) were assessed through otoacoustic emissions evoked by a frequency specific stimulus, \"tone burst\", at 2000 and at 4000 hertz, with and without contralateral white noise. RESULTS: the right ear and the control group presented advantage in the amplitude of OAE TB. The mean values of \"Response\" at 2000 hertz were 17,73 dB in the control group and 16,55 dB in the study group, for female subjects, and 16,63 dB in the control group and 16,12 dB in the study group, for male subjects. At 4000 hertz, the mean values of \"Response\" were 14,63 dB in the control group and 15,09 dB in the study group, for female subjects and 18,57 dB in the control group and 15,06 dB in the study group, for male subjects. In the suppression, there was an advantage of the right ear, of the control group for female subjects, and of the study group for male subjects, although without statistical significance. The mean values of suppression for the variable \"Response\" at 2000 hertz were 1,66 dB in the control group and 0,84 dB in the study group, for female subjects, and 1,41 dB in the control group and 2,07 dB in the study group, for male subjects. At 4000 hertz, the mean values of suppression for \"Response\" were 1,29 dB in the control group and 0,98 dB in the study group, for female subjects, and 1,75 dB in the control group and 2,14 dB in the study group, for male subjects. CONCLUSION: From frequency-specific stimuli at 2000 and at 4000 hertz, it was possible to verify the inhibitory effect of the auditory efferent pathway upon the amplitude of otoacoustic emissions in neonates. The use of frequencyspecific stimuli may contribute for the assessment of the central auditory function in this population.

Modifications de l’amplitude du réflexe de l’oreille moyenne après inhalation de solvant. Conséquences physiologiques pour les expositions au bruit / Alterations in the amplitude of acoustic middle-ear reflex after inhalation solvent. Physiological consequences for exposure to noise

Wathier, Ludivine 16 December 2016 (has links)
Le réflexe de l’oreille moyenne (ROM) diminue l’énergie acoustique portée par les bruits riches en basses fréquences et de fortes intensités qui pénètrent dans la cochlée. Son déclenchement bilatéral permet ainsi de protéger la cochlée. La perturbation de ce réflexe par des solvants peut accroître les effets cochléo-traumatisants du bruit, notamment chez les salariés du secteur industriel, où bruit et solvant sont souvent associés. L’objectif principal de ces travaux était d’élaborer un test de criblage capable d’identifier les substances volatiles susceptibles de modifier le réflexe. De plus, le choix des solvants nous a permis d’étudier le mode d’action des solvants sur les neurones impliqués dans l’arc réflexe. Pour cela, des rats Brown Norway anesthésiés ont été exposés par inhalation aux solvants aromatiques choisis selon leur lipophilie (log Kow) et/ou selon leur structure. L’amplitude du ROM a été déterminée grâce à la mesure de l’intensité du produit de distorsion acoustique. Les résultats montrent que les effets des solvants sur le ROM sont conditionnés par les paramètres stéréospécifiques des molécules et non par leur lipophilie. Par ailleurs, l’analyse RMN des microsomes de cerveaux de rats confirme que le toluène n’influence pas la fluidité membranaire. En conclusion, le ROM est un bon outil pour détecter des substances dangereuses pour l’audition en cas de co-exposition avec du bruit. De plus, nous pouvons dire que les solvants aromatiques ont une action neuropharmacologique et/ou cochléotoxique qui peuvent retentir de façon distincte sur l’audition des sujets co-exposés au bruit et à des solvants. / The middle-ear reflex (MER) reduces acoustic energy carried by the high intensity noises rich in low frequencies at entering the cochlea. His bilateral trigger thus protects the cochlea. Disruption of this reflex by solvents can increase cochleo-traumatic effects of noise, especially among industrial workers, where noise and solvent are often associated. The main objective of this work was to develop a screening test capable of identifying the volatile substances that could modify the reflex. Moreover, the choice of solvents allowed us to study the mode of action of solvents on the neurons involved in the reflex circuit. For this purpose, Brown Norway rats were anesthetized and then exposed to aromatic solvents selected according to their lipophilicity (log Kow) and/or their structure. The amplitude of the MER is determined by measuring cubic distortion product oto-acoustic emissions. For that, aromatic solvents appear to act directly on the neuronal targets involved in the acoustic reflex circuit, rather than on membrane fluidity. The affinity of this interaction is determined by stereospecific parameters rather than lipophilocity. Additionally, NMR spectra for brain microsomes confirmed that brain lipid fluidity was unaffected by toluene exposure. In conclusion, the MER can be used to detect hazardous volatiles substances for the hearing when co-exposed to noise. Moreover, this study revealed that aromatic solvents have a neuropharmacological and/or cochleotoxic action that can act separately on the hearing of workers exposed to noise and solvents simultaneously.

It is an important tool to neonatal hearing screening and test battery that includes audiologic assessment in infants. Therefore, there is a necessity to set up parameters to analyse DPOAE records in infants in order to be used as clinic criterion in audiologic assessment. Objective To describe the findings of DPOAE records in infants from birth to two months old, through analysis of response level, the noise level and the signal to noise ratio in all frequencies; the analysis of response level according to variables: age in days, gender, timpanometry pression peak, infant state during test and distribution of percentile from the response level. Methodology 138 infants were evaluated, being all full term, without risk indicators to hearing loss and who passed in hearing screening. The parameters used in this record were: L1= 65 dBSPL and L2= 50 dBSPL in equipment ILO292 Otodynamic. Results 70 male infants and 68 female infants were evaluated, with ages between 6 to 65 days. The medians from DPOAE level were: 6,7 dBSPL to f2 1001 Hz; 11,5 dBSPL to f2 1257 Hz; 14,2 dBSPL to f2 1587 Hz; 14,2 dBSPL to f2 2002 Hz; 13,7 dBSPL to f2 2515 Hz; 13,7 dBSPL to f2 3174 Hz; 15,5 dBSPL to f2 4004 Hz; 16,3 dBSPL to f2 5042 Hz e 6,0 dBSPL to f2 6348 Hz. The medians from the noise level were: 4,9 dBSPL to f2 1001 Hz; 5,9 dBSPL to f2 1257 Hz; 6,0 dBSPL to f2 1587 Hz; -2,1 dBSPL to f2 2002 Hz; -12,5 dBSPL to f2 2515 Hz; -5,6 dBSPL to f2 3174 Hz; -8,9 dBSPL to f2 4004 Hz; -9,5 dBSPL to f2 5042 Hz e -4,4 dBSPL to f2 6348 Hz. The medians from the signal to noise ratio were: 1,5 dBSPL to f2 1001 Hz; 5,4 dBSPL to f2 1257 Hz; 7,7 dBSPL to f2 1587 Hz; 16,4 dBSPL to f2 2002 Hz; 18,9 dBSPL to f2 2515 Hz; 19,3 dBSPL to para f2 3174 Hz; 24,2 dBSPL to f2 4004 Hz; 25,5 dBSPL to f2 5042 Hz e 10,5 dBSPL to f2 6348 Hz. Conclusions There was a tendency to decrease from the response level around 30 days of life, being more evident in 2002 Hz frequency (f2). The timpanometry pression peak defined by three groups (among -50 and +50 daPa; <-50 daPa and >+50 daPa) showed no influence on records from the response level. There was no statistically significant difference between genders and between ears to the response level. The baby state (light sleep, deep sleep and alert) had influence on signal to noise ratio in deep sleep state. The findings of percentile were similar to the ones found in the literature, therefore for clinical interpretation, the percentile 5 can suggest hearing loss and the percentile 95 can suggest a normal hearing, so the results of the two percentiles, a place uncertainty refering to hearing losses / Introdução A emissão otoacústica-produto de distorção tem sido utilizada devido às suas características específicas de avaliar bandas de freqüências altas e de detectar perdas auditivas em estágios iniciais, sendo essencial na triagem auditiva neonatal e na bateria de testes que envolvem a avaliação audiológica infantil. Portanto, há uma necessidade de se estabelecer parâmetros para análise do registro das EOAPD em lactentes, com a finalidade de utilizá-los como critério clínico na avaliação audiológica. Objetivo Descrever os achados do registro das emissões otoacústicas-produto de distorção em lactentes de até dois meses de idade por meio da análise do nível de resposta, do nível de ruído e da relação sinal/ruído em todas as bandas de freqüências; da análise do nível de resposta em relação às variáveis: dias de vida, gênero, pico de pressão na timpanometria e estado do lactente durante o exame e da distribuição do percentil do nível de resposta. Metodologia Foram avaliados 138 lactentes, todos nascidos a termo, sem indicadores de risco para perda auditiva e que passaram na triagem auditiva. Os parâmetros utilizados para este registro foram: L1= 65 dBNPS e L2= 50 dBNPS no equipamento ILO292 Otodynamic. Resultados Foram avaliados 70 lactentes do gênero masculino e 68 do feminino, com idade variando de 6 a 65 dias de vida. As medianas do nível de resposta das EOAPD para cada freqüência (f2) foram de: 6,7 dBNPS para 1001 Hz; 11,5 dBNPS para 1257 Hz; 14,2 dBNPS para 1587 Hz; 14,2 dBNPS para 2002 Hz; 13,7 dBNPS para 2515 Hz; 13,7 dBNPS para 3174 Hz; 15,5 dBNPS para 4004 Hz; 16,3 dBNPS para 5042 Hz e 6,0 dBNPS para 6348 Hz. As medianas do nível de ruído para cada freqüência (f2) foram de: 4,9 dBNPS para 1001 Hz; 5,9 dBNPS para 1257 Hz; 6,0 dBNPS para 1587 Hz; -2,1 dBNPS para 2002 Hz; -12,5 dBNPS para 2515 Hz; -5,6 dBNPS para 3174 Hz; -8,9 dBNPS para 4004 Hz; -9,5 dBNPS para 5042 Hz e -4,4 dBNPS para 6348 Hz. As medianas da relação sinal/ruído para cada freqüência (f2) foram de: 1,5 dBNPS para 1001 Hz; 5,4 dBNPS para 1257 Hz; 7,7 dBNPS para 1587 Hz; 16,4 dBNPS para 2002 Hz; 18,9 dBNPS para 2515 Hz; 19,3 dBNPS para 3174 Hz; 24,2 dBNPS para 4004 Hz; 25,5 dBNPS para 5042 Hz e 10,5 dBNPS para 6348 Hz. Conclusões Houve uma tendência de diminuição do nível de resposta a partir dos 30 dias de vida. O pico de pressão na timpanometria definido por três grupos (entre -50 e +50 daPa; <-50 daPa e >+50 daPa) não influenciou no registro do nível de resposta. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre gêneros e entre orelhas para o nível de resposta. O estado do lactente influenciou na relação sinal/ruído, sendo a melhor relação sinal/ruído no estado sono profundo. Os achados do percentil foram semelhantes aos encontrados na literatura. Portanto, para uma interpretação clínica, o percentil 5 pode sugerir perda auditiva e o percentil 95 pode sugerir audição dentro da normalidade, sendo os resultados entre esses dois percentis uma região de incerteza quanto às perdas auditivas

No. of bitstreams: 1 Raquel Alves Nobre.pdf: 1069573 bytes, checksum: b8d1295a1b5de37c7e8a3aac4652d769 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-09-16 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNSH) aims to provide early diagnosis in newborns. The procedure uses objective measures such as the Transient Evoked Otoacustic Emissions (TEOAEs) and the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR). Different stages and protocols are broadly used in TANU, and that may change the values of passes and fails of each program. Purpose: To study the rate of passes and fails in the protocols and stages that are used at TANU, which were performed using electroacoustic (TEOAEs) and electrophysiological (ABR) procedures through an integrative review. Methods: Type of study: An integrative review. Search strategy: The following databases were examined: PubMed, SciELO and SCOPUS.Criteria for selecting the readings: Articles that have evaluated at least a minimum of 1,000 newborns; specifying the time (hours of life of the newborn) in which the test was accomplished; articles specifying how many days later the retest was performed after the hospital discharge, if the infant failed the test; in the article´s methodology the tests that were used and its stages must be included. The method of choice should be: TEOAEs test and retest in newborns with no risk; TEOAEs in conjunction with ABR and ABR in the retest in newborns with no risk and ABR on the test and retest in newborns with a risk factor; the results should present the pass and fail results of each step, such as the diagnosis result. Results: A total of 3950 references were found in English, Portuguese and Spanish. After removing duplicated studies (300), 3650 references were obtained, that were analyzed through titles and summaries. Of this total, 3500 were excluded for being researches with different topics. Hereby, 15 filled all the inclusion criteria. The final rates of pass and fail found in the studied protocols were the following: for the TEOAEs test/retest protocol the pass rate varied from 99,53% to 97,39% and the fail rate from 2,41% to 0,44%. In the TEOAEs and ABR test protocol and in the ABR retest the pass results ranged from 99,84% to 98% and fail from 0,35% to 0,16%. And in the ABR test/retest protocol in newborns with risk factors the pass rate was reached from 98,62% to 92,74% and the fail rate from 1,7% to 1,38%. All the pass and fail rates are within of what is recommended by literature. Conclusion: The protocol that presented the smaller number of false positives was the TEOAEs combined with the ABR in the test and ABR in retest. The findings indicate that the probability of fail for the TEOAEs in the test and retest is larger than the TEOAEs and ABR in the test and ABR in retest, both for the newborns screened until 24 hours of life and for the newborns screened between 25 and 72 hours of life / A Triagem Auditiva Neonatal Universal (TANU) tem como objetivo realizar o diagnóstico precoce em neonatos. A sua realização utiliza medidas, como as emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulo transiente (EOAET) e o potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico (PEATE). Diferentes etapas e protocolos são utilizados na TANU, o que pode alterar os índices de passa e falha de cada programa. Objetivo: Estudar os resultados de índice de passa-falha dos protocolos e etapas utilizados na TANU, realizada com procedimentos eletroacústicos (EOAET) e eletrofisiolóficos (PEATE) por meio de uma revisão integrativa. Método: Tipo de estudo: Revisão integrativa Estratégia de busca: Foram pesquisadas as seguintes bases de dados: PUBMED, SCieLO e SCOPUS. Critério para a seleção dos estudos: artigos que avaliaram um número mínimo de 1000 neonatos; artigos que especificaram as horas de vida do neonato em que foi realizado o teste; artigos que especificaram quantos dias depois da alta hospitalar foi realizado o reteste, caso o neonato falhasse no teste; no método, deveriam constar quais os testes utilizados e suas etapas. Neste caso, os testes utilizados deveriam ser: EOAET no teste e no reteste em neonatos sem risco; EOAET combinado com PEATE no teste e PEATE no reteste em neonatos sem risco e PEATE no teste e no reteste em neonatos com risco; os estudos deveriam apresentar o resultado de passa e falha de cada etapa, assim como o resultado do diagnóstico. Resultados: Foi identificado um total de 3950 referências no idioma inglês, português e espanhol. Após a remoção dos estudos duplicados (300), foram obtidas 3650 referências, que foram analisadas por meio dos títulos e dos resumos. Deste total, 3500 foram excluídos por se tratarem de pesquisas com outro tema. Desta forma, 150 estudos foram selecionados, na íntegra. Deste total, 15 preencheram todos os critérios de inclusão. Os índices de passa e falha final encontrados nos protocolos estudados foi de: para o protocolo EOAET no teste e reteste, o índice de passa variou de 99,53 a 97,39% e falha de 2,41% a 0,44%. No protocolo de EOAET combinado com PEATE no teste, e PEATE no reteste foi de passa em 99,84% a 98%, e falha de 0,35% a 0,16%. No protocolo PEATE no teste e reteste em neonatos com risco o índice de passa foi de 98,62% e 92,74% e falha de 1,7% e 1,38%. Todos os índices de passa e falha estão dentro do que é recomendado pela literatura. Conclusão: O protocolo que apresentou menor número de falso-positivo foi o EOAET combinado com PEATE no teste, e PEATE no reteste. Os resultados mostram que a probabilidade de falha para protocolo- EOAET no teste e reteste é maior do que para o protocolo- EOAET combinado com PEATE no teste, e PEATE no reteste, tanto para o neonatos triados até 24 horas de vida, quanto para o grupo de neonatos triados entre 25 e 72 horas
