Noise Induced Hearing Loss and Audiometry
... The recorded signals are then amplified, averaged, and processed by fast Fourier transform. A frequency spectrum of the OAEs is produced. The quality of the OAEs can be affected by poor stimulus delivery as well as internal and ambient noise. These factors can be minimized with proper equipment cont ...

Bimodal Devices and Bilateral Cochlear Implants: A Review

Auditory system
The auditory system is the sensory system for the sense of hearing. It includes both the sensory organs (the ears) and the auditory parts of the sensory system.
