#otoacoustic
In 1978, physicist David Kemp proved healthy human ears do not just receive sound, they emit it. Faint clicks and tones leak out of the inner ear on their own, a quirk called otoacoustic emissions, now used worldwide to test newborn hearing.

Oh yeah -- but I think the short answer is that they're widely used in *detection*, not treatment directly.

For instance:

The suppression they're talking about means that someone with certain forms of tinnitus will struggle to hear the effect at all.

This one's for the heads, literally. Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are sounds produced by your ear, ghostly tones emitted from inside the cochlea itself. The phenomenon has been employed in experimental music (and medical applications), but it has been hard to explore on your own -- until now.

The additional oscillator is... you. Like, inside your ear.

Inside the unprecedented plug-in otophon -- the psychoacoustic effect it's based on, music that employs that technique, and how to approach a plug-in that tickles the cochlea.

because baseline immobility differed across groups before treatment. NTG produced frequency-dependent changes in distortion-product otoacoustic emissions and auditory brain stem response thresholds. (🧵 5/9)

• Diabetics needed up to 12 dB more sound intensity just to detect basic tones
• Inner ear hair cell function (measured by otoacoustic emissions) was significantly reduced in diabetics
• Speech understanding in noisy environments was measurably worse

All participants underwent comprehensive audiological assessments, including pure-tone audiometry, ipsilateral and contralateral acoustic reflex threshold (ART) testing to assess MEMR function, and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) with contralateral suppression (🧵 5/12)

OTOH, ive had tinnitus my whole life since i was a kid + it gets worse when my jaw is bad (i also get otoacoustic emissions, at least that's what i think is happening with the transient piercing shriek in my ear) and I get temp hearing loss bc of my jaw too so idk that we can discount muscle issues.
