Summary

Posture significantly alters otoacoustic emissions, tympanic membrane displacement, and travelling wave velocity. These changes, likely due to different physiological mechanisms, highlight posture

Area of Science:

  • Otoacoustic Emissions and Vestibular Physiology
  • Auditory Evoked Potentials and Biomechanics

Background:

  • Posture can influence inner ear fluid dynamics and pressure.
  • Previous research indicates postural effects on auditory measures.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for accurate audiological assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of posture on three distinct auditory measures.
  • To compare postural effects across click evoked otoacoustic emissions, tympanic membrane displacement, and auditory brainstem response-derived travelling wave velocity.
  • To explore potential correlations between these posturally-induced changes.

Main Methods:

  • Measurements of click evoked otoacoustic emissions, tympanic membrane displacement, and travelling wave velocity were acquired.
  • Data collection was performed across different postural positions.
  • Auditory brainstem response was utilized to obtain travelling wave velocity.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant changes were observed for all three techniques with variations in posture.
  • Postural effects on evoked emissions and tympanic membrane displacement aligned with prior studies.
  • Travelling wave velocity demonstrated sensitivity to inferred postural changes in labyrinthine fluid pressure.

Conclusions:

  • Posture significantly influences otoacoustic emissions, tympanic membrane displacement, and travelling wave velocity.
  • No significant correlation was found between the postural changes measured by the three techniques.
  • It is hypothesized that distinct physiological mechanisms underlie the observed postural effects for each measurement.
