Abstract

Evoked otoacoustic emission (e-OAE) signals are measured from adult and analyzed by computer. Stimulation and detection are repeated and averaged 1000 times for noise cancellation. e-OAE signals are analyzed on frequency domain and time domain. The frequency domain analysis reveals that frequency of stimulus and emission has lineal relationship in 50 dB input sound amplitude. This result altos the cross correlation method to be applied for latency calculation. As the stimulus frequency grows higher, the latency tine is shorter and the gain or emission signal becomes greater. We introduced two mathmatical functions to identify these latecy and gain. These results can be utilized for cochlear modeling.
