[Active cochlear mechanisms. Significance of a clinical study of acoustic emissions].
Recent studies in inner ear physiology clearly show that active cochlear mechanisms play an important role in the normal auditory perception. One of the effects of these mechanisms is that the inner ear can emit acoustic energy towards the outer ear canal. Oto-emissions are currently recorded by various techniques adaptable to usual audiological devices. It is expected that more precise diagnoses to inner ear diseases might be deduced from their study.
