Distortion product otoacoustic emissions: towards reliable and valid early identification and monitoring of hearing in adults receiving ototoxic medication by Petersen, Lucretia

“…Preliminary study with healthy normal hearing participants: The results of the preliminary study in healthy, normal-hearing participants indicated that the highest levels of DPOAEs were elicited with L1/L2 intensity levels of 65/65 and 65/55 dB SPL, and f2/f1 ratios of 1.18, 1.20 and 1.22, as determined by mixed model analyses (p < 0.05). These same stimulus parameters yielded the most reliable DPOAEs in both ears, as determined by intraclass correlation coefficient analysis. …”
