Study of otoacoustic emissions on acoustic susceptibility

本研究以高中生为研究对象，对听力及诱发耳声发射进行测试，以确定其是否可作为内耳对噪音性听力损伤易感性的预测因子。在S-D学院铜管乐队成员和K-D学院管弦乐成员中，Bekesy听音微倾与连续诱发耳声发射的关系最高，其Yule关联系数分别为0.91和0.61。后续研究表明，在这两所学校中，联系顺序相似。诱发耳声发射的测量可能有助于预测个体对噪声引起的听力损伤的易感性。

Heaing and evoked otoacoustic emissions were examined in high school students in order to ascertain its availability as a predictor of inner ear susceptibility to noise-induced hearing damage. The relationship between micro-dips in Bekesy's audiogram and continuous evoked otoacoustic emissions was the highest in brass band members of S-D School and in orchestra members of K-D School, having Yule's association coeffcient, Q=0.91 and 0.61. The follow up studies showed a similar relationship in order of association in both the schools. The measurement of evoked otoacoustic emissions may be useful for foreknowing individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing damage.
