Abstract:
:The present study aimed to confirm and extend the finding, suggested by the results of a previous study, of different auditory neural efferent functioning in musicians compared with non-musicians. The activity of the medial olivocochlear bundle (MOCB), an auditory efferent subsystem, was measured through the contralaterally induced attenuation of the amplitude of evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs) in two groups, one of musicians and one of non-musicians, paired for age and sex. The results indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups, with the musicians showing greater amplitude reduction upon contralateral noise stimulation than non-musicians (U-test, U = 204, p < 0.025, n = 32). These results indicate greater MOCB activity in musicians than in non-musicians. The possible origins and implications of this finding are discussed.
