  1. Objective Tests of the Auditory System SPA 4302 Summer 2007

  2. ______________(R) Mass Reactance(Xm) Stiffness Reactance(Xs) Z = (R2 + Xt2)1/2 _____________(G) Mass Susceptance(Bm) Stiffness Susceptance(Bs) Y = (G2 + Bt2)1/2 Impedance (Z) vs.Admittance (Y)

  3. Tympanogram: • A plot of middle ear admittance as a function of __________________ • Pressure is swept from +200 to -200 or -400 dPa • Should see peak at point where pressures are ______________

  4. Tympanogram types: • A: peak between +100 and -200 dPa: normal • C: peak beyond -200 dPa: neg pressure • B: no peak flat tymp: ____________ • As: peak but shallow: stiff: _____________ • Ad: peak off scale: floppy: _____________

  5. Tympanogram Types

  6. Static Admittance • A measure of the height of tympanogram peak Adults 3-10 yrs A 0.30 to 1.70 0.25 to 1.05 As < 0.30 < 0.2 Ad >1.70 > 1.05 (All values are in ml of equivalent volume)

  7. The Acoustic Reflex • Stapedius contraction measured as change in ___________ • Reflex arc: • peripheral ear, • ___________________ • Cochlear nucleus • ___________________ • Medial Nuclei of VII • ______________________

  8. L R MN 7 SOC CN 8th IE ME OE SOC CN 8th IE ME OE MN 7 7th CN 7th CN

  9. Clinical Tests using Acoustic Reflexes: • A.R. ___________: how intense sound must be to elicit the reflex? • A.R. __________: Is the degree of a contraction maintained throughout a 10 second stimulus?

  10. AR Threshold: • to pure-tones, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz • = lowest level at which change in __________ can be read • ipsilaterally or contralaterally • should be between ___ and ___ dB SL.

  11. Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) • Low-level sounds produced by the _______ and recordable in the external ear canal. • Spontaneous • Click-evoked • _________ Product • Stimulus __________

  12. Recording OAEs

  13. Spectrum of Sound in Ear Canal

  14. OAE as Measure of Cochlear Health

  15. Auditory Evoked Potentials

  16. ABR MEASURES I-V IPL III-V I-III IV V III II I Amp V Amplitude (μV) Wave V Latency Time (ms)

  17. Conductive Loss: Curve shifted to higher levels by amount of conductive loss

  18. Severe Cochlear Losses
