Abstract

In this chapter, I will attempt to provide a brief overview of the discovery, phenomenology, theoretical, and practical implications of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). The focus will be on how OAE behavior relates to known characteristics of cochlear mechanics, the cochlear amplifier, and the physiology of hair cells.
