Abstract
The presence of continuous, narrow‐band acoustic signals (oto‐acoustic emissions) in recordings made from the ear canals of human subjects has been reported by several authors. We report here the results of our attempt to detect such emissions from a series of 92 normally hearingears from 47 adult subjects. Our results were quite similar to those reported by Zurek [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 6 9, 514–523 (1981)]. Emissions were found in 38% of the people and 27% of the ears tested. The distributions of the recorded emissions were also very similar to the results of Zurek’s study.Keywords
