Abstract
Measurement of otoacoustic emissions provides audiologists with the methodology to access the living human cochlea. While distortion-product otacoustic emissions and transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions are well-known clinical tests, stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) are less frequently encountered in the clinical literature. This presentation will summarize findings of several studies that have utilized SFOAEs to non-invasively explore cochlear tuning. The evidence from these studies suggests that cochlear tuning is adaptive and can be shaped by various auditory experiences, including musical training.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify how stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions are different than other types of otoacoustic emissions.
  • Define how to measure cochlear tuning with non-invasive measures of stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions.
  • List reasons why auditory experiences may change cochlear tuning for the better or for the worse.
