Swamy Short-Term Reliability of Different Methods of Contralateral Suppression of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission in Children and Adults ASHA 2019 All India Institute of Speech and Hearing, Manasagangothri, Mysuru, India 495-507 Volume 28 Issue 2s Purpose :This study aimed to investigate the reliability of 3 methods to measure contralateral suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in children and adults.Method:Contralateral suppression of TEOAEs was measured in 14 adults and 14 children using 3 methods with and without contralateral acoustic stimulus (CAS). Method-I having “2 s on-off” and Method-II having “10 s on-off” interleaved presentation of white noise. Method-III used “continuous presentation of white noise”. Test–retest reliability was checked in adults without removing the probe (same-probe recording) and reinserting the probe (different-probe recording) and in children using a different-probe recording.Results:The absolute suppression amplitude of TEOAEs was higher for “continuous noise,” followed by “10 s on-off” and “2 s on-off” CAS. There was no significant effect of age across the 2 probe recordings, 3 methods of TEOAEs with and without CAS, and for the absolute suppression amplitude. Also, in adults, there was no significant difference between same-probe and different-probe recordings across the 3 methods. High internal consistency was observed on Cronbach's alpha (α > .9) for the 3 methods and 2 probe recordings. High agreement and correlation between the recordings for all 3 methods were seen using Bland–Altman plots and Pearson product–moment correlation coefficient.Conclusion:The study demonstrated that highly reliable contralateral suppression of TEOAE can be measured using the 3 methods in adults and children. However, continuous presentation of CAS resulted in greater TEOAE suppression amplitude compared to interleaved presentation of CAS; hence, the former is recommended.
