[The appearance of contralateral otoacoustic emissions with unilateral cochlear hearing loss].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the latent influence on the contralateral ear when one ear was involves by different deaf elements.


METHODS
TEOAE and DPOAE were recorded from contralateral ears with unilateral cochlear hearing loss, who were divided into 5 groups, group S1, sudden deafness last within two months (9 ears), group S2, sudden deafness last over one year or so(6 ears), Meniere's disease (13 ears M1, M2) cochlear hearing loss of unknown etiology(7 ear, UNK), using ILO-96 analyzer system.


RESULTS
Response amplitude, wave reproducibility, band reproducibility of TEOAE in S1, M2 were significantly lower than normal values. Amplitude of DPOAE in S1, M2 were significantly lower than normal values. All record were the same with normal in S2, M1. UNK.


CONCLUSIONS
In all sorts of deaf elements, some have an effect on binaural ears, the others have an effect on unilateral ear.
