| Summary: | This study is developed under the line of Hearing Conservation implemented in the Centro de Investigación y Transferencia en Acústica from Argentina, where the hearing and psychosocial aspects are studied for 4 years. The aim of this study is analyze, in adolescents between 14 and 15 years old, the relationship of Medial Efferent pathway -by Contralateral Suppression (CS) of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs) - with:a) hearing thresholds of the audiometry and b) exposure to high music levels in recreational activities. The results of the first year of study (Test) showed that hearing thresholds and different levels of exposure to musical activities did not influence the effect of the CS. In the majority of adolescents tested showed a reduction in the response of TEOAEs after contralateral acoustic stimulation, as might be infer that the efferent pathway would be acting as a protective mechanism hearing regardless of their hearing thresholds and levels of exposure. This research has been developed (Retest stage) the study of hearing vulnerability of this group of adolescents to chronic exposure to high music levels. |
