Research abstract
WE AIM TO DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE A PORTABLE DEVICE FOR RAPID SCREENING OF AUDITORY FUNCTION, BASED ON MEASUREMENT OF EVOKED OTOACOUSTIC EMISSION. THE APPLIED STIMULI WILL BE TWO-TONE PAIRS CLOSELY SPACED IN FREQUENCY. SCREENING WILL BE BASED ON ASSESSMENT OF THE EVOKED DISTORTION PRODUCTS. SYSTEM DESIGN WILL BE BASED ON APPLICATION OF EXTREMELY HIGH SPEED DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR EXTRACTION OF LOW-LEVEL SIGNALS FROM BACKGROUND NOISE AND FOR SPECTRAL ANALYSIS, USING NEW, LOWER-POWER DEVICES. THE INSTRUMENT WILL OPERATE IN TWO MODES, ONE IN WHICH A MINIMAL, QUALITATIVE BUT HIGHLY RELIABLE SCREENING INDICATION IS PROVIDED, AND AN OPTIONAL MODE PERMITTING QUANTITATIVE TESTS OVER A WIDE FREQUENCY RANGE. THERE IS TO BE OPTIONAL PRINTOUT, STORAGE AND TRANSFER OF DATA.
