Otoacoustic Emissions, Spontaneous
Research News and Information

Definition of 'Otoacoustic Emissions, Spontaneous'

Self-generated faint acoustic signals from the inner ear (COCHLEA) without external stimulation. These faint signals can be recorded in the EAR CANAL and are indications of active OUTER AUDITORY HAIR CELLS. Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions are found in all classes of land vertebrates.

Common names: Otoacoustic Emissions, Spontaneous; Otoacoustic Emission, Spontaneous; Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emission; Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions

Hearing assessment in infants and children: recommendations beyond neonatal screening.

26 Sep 2009 Congenital or acquired hearing loss in infants and children has been linked with lifelong deficits in speech and language acquisition, poor academic performance, personal-social maladjustments, and emotional difficulties. Identification of hearing ... Read more...


Case report of a child with otoacoustic emissions and profound hearing loss in whom otoacoustic emissions were preserved after cochlear implantation.

30 Aug 2009 The management of patients characterised by the presence of otoacoustic emissions and/or cochlear microphonics suggesting normal outer hair cell function in conjunction with absent or grossly abnormal auditory brainstem responses is often associated ... Read more...


The Ca2+ channel subunit beta2 regulates Ca2+ channel abundance and function in inner hair cells and is required for hearing.

24 Aug 2009 Hearing relies on Ca(2+) influx-triggered exocytosis in cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs). Here we studied the role of the Ca(2+) channel subunit Ca(V)beta(2) in hearing. Of the Ca(V)beta(1-4) mRNAs, IHCs predominantly contained Ca(V)beta(2). Hearing ... Read more...
