MOCR testing

Measure the medial-olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) with contralateral suppression of TEOAEs or SFOAEs. This is a new module especially for research customers.

  • Use MOCR assays similar to those recently published by Lynne Marshall and colleagues.
  • Contralateral elicitor can be broadband noise or tonal.
  • Highly configurable protocols, real-time display, reports, and analysis.
  • Automatically print results to pdf.
  • Automatically save detailed results to Matlab files for further in-depth analysis.
  • Tester-friendly GUI - use the spacebar to advance through the most common options.

CAS add-on

Also available for the TE and SF Modules for research users is a contralateral elicitor add-on (MOCR module customers get this add-on for free). The add-on generates digital broad-band noise or a tone, synchronizes the output with the SFOAE measurement (including programmable on and offset delays), and automatically saves the data files with a common file prefix. The benefit to using the add-on is that test sequences can be highly customized, but there is no real-time display of the MOCR results or any data analysis. This add-on is software only - a suitable sound card and calibrated earphone must be purchased or acquired separately.
