Abstract

Wavelet analysis was performed to obtain time-frequency analyses of click evoked otoacoustic emissions from normal cars and one car with a high-frequency hearing loss; mainly to introduce this relatively new method and to show its potentials for emission analysis. The same analysis was then used to obtain time-frequency decompositions of synthesized emissions. It was found that the introduction of a slightly irregular frequency to place relation for the inner ear yielded synthetic results that were remarkably similar to those obtained from real ears.

    The overall goal of this study was to characterize the time–frequency distribution of CEOAEs in children. The specific aims were (1) to demonstrate the feasibility of the ST for analyzing CEOAEs, by comparing the ST and the WT (Tognola et al., 1998, 1997; Wit et al., 1994), and (2) to apply the ST to probe the time–frequency distribution of CEOAEs, including level and latency characteristics, in 5–10 year old children. This study consisted of two parts.

    Wavelets were chosen for this supplementary analysis of OAEs. Wavelet analysis yields both time and frequency information present in a transiently-evoked OAE signal (Wit et al., 1994; Tognola et al., 1997; Tognola et al., 1998). The result of wavelet analysis is a representation of the OAE-signal amplitude in the time-frequency plane, conserving both time information as well as frequency information.

    Therefore, the above concerns lead to the need to consider alternative signal processing methods to overcome the effects of noise on recording CEOAE responses. As CEOAEs are time-varying signals with frequency dispersion along time, several time–frequency analysis (TFA) techniques, such as short-time Fourier transform (STFT) [22–24], Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD) [25,26], matching pursuit (MP) [27,28] and wavelet transform (WT) [29–34], have been proposed to represent the characteristics of a CEOAE signal in the joint t–f domain. Among these TFA methods, WT technique was demonstrated to have better t–f resolution for CEOAE signal analysis than the STFT and other algorithms [31,35–37].

    Since our STFT implementation allowed better control of which frequencies contributed to a latency measurement, we report the STFT results here. For the WT, the mother wavelet was a windowed cosine as in previous papers (e.g. Wit et al., 1994; Tognola et al., 1997, 1998; Sisto et al., 2007). Dilated versions of the mother wavelet, the daughter wavelets were obtained through downsampling in a dyadic scheme.
