The relationship between ultra-high frequency thresholds and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in adults with tinnitus.

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Our study revealed poorer UHF hearing thresholds and more TEOAE abnormalities in normal hearing individuals with tinnitus compared to the controls. Perhaps the alterations in the basal cochlea, following a decrease in UHF hearing sensitivity, affect OAEs that are originated from more apical cochlear parts in tinnitus ears more than non-tinnitus ears.
