听觉文献表明，有自发耳声发射(SOAE)的耳朵也应该证明在安静的情况下总体上比没有自发耳声发射的耳朵听力更好，但还没有对这种假定的关系进行直接测试。因此，对右耳没有SOAE或至少有四个SOAE的男性和女性的听力敏感度进行了测量。在不同频率下，有SOAES的受试者的双耳听力比没有SOAEs的受试者的听力提高了约3分贝。与过去的研究结果一致，右耳的敏感度也明显好于左耳。然而，女性听力优于男性的普遍发现并未出现，这表明只有当SOAE患病率的性别差异不被考虑时，这种差异才可能存在。安静状态下的听力敏感度和国有企业的存在之间存在直接关系，这表明共同的机制可能对两者都有责任。
The auditory literature suggests that ears having spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) should also evidence overall better hearing in the quiet than ears with no SOAEs, but no direct tests of this presumed relationship have been made. Accordingly, hearing sensitivity was measured in both males and females having either no SOAEs or at least four SOAEs in the right ear. Averaged across frequencies, the hearing of the subjects with SOAEs was about 3 dB better, in both ears, than the hearing of the subjects with no SOAEs. In accord with past findings, sensitivity was also significantly better in right ears than left. However, the common finding of better hearing in females than males did not emerge, suggesting that this difference may exist only when the sex difference in SOAE prevalence is not taken into account. The existence of a direct relationship between hearing sensitivity in the quiet and the presence of SOAEs suggests that a common mechanism may be responsible for both.
