DPOAE thresholds measure peripheral function unaffected by auditory nerve deficits

Evidence

DPOAE thresholds offer an objective and purely peripheral correlate to the hearing threshold (Dorn et al. 2001 ) that is not influenced by AN deficits in afferent transmission. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5872

Categorization

  • DEFINE: Defines the unique value of DPOAEs: a purely peripheral measure that can be subtracted from psychophysical or EEG measures to separate components.
  • corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5872
  • XREF: connects to: Recovered hearing thresholds can mask permanent neural damage — , Toole, Floyd E - Sound reproduction-…, 1815; tACS might bypass a damaged auditory periphery to deliver envelope information
