Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine whether children aged 7 to 12 years with listening difficulties show objective evidence for efferent auditory function based on measurements of medial olivo-cochlear and middle ear muscle reflexes. DESIGN:Click-evoked otoacoustic emissions recorded with and without contralateral broadband noise and ipsilateral and contralateral tonal (1000, 2000 Hz) middle ear muscle reflex thresholds were examined. STUDY SAMPLE:29 children diagnosed with suspected auditory processing disorder (APD) and a control group of 34 typically developing children participated in this study. RESULTS:Children with suspected APD had poorer performance on auditory processing tests than the control group. Middle ear muscle reflex thresholds were significantly higher at 2000 Hz in the suspected APD group for contralateral stimulation. MOC inhibition effects did not differ between APD and control groups. CONCLUSIONS:This research supports earlier studies showing altered acoustic reflexes in children with APD. No group differences were found for the MOC reflex measures, consistent with some earlier studies in children with APD.
