Using stimulus frequency otoacoustic emissions to study basic properties of the human medial olivocochlear reflex
The medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) is a brainstem-based neural feedback circuit by which mammals adaptively adjust the gain of their ears in response to changing environmental conditions. Activating the reflex with sound reduces cochlear gain, but the mechanisms by which the reflex produces its …

Using otoacoustic emissions to evaluate efferent auditory function in humans
… its dynamics is mediated in part by the medial olivocochlear (MOC) bundle, a neural feedback loop which aids in the regulation of cochlear micro-mechanics. The ability to measure the response of the MOC system in humans may provide significant insight into unique cochlear functions, such as its …

Evaluation of Efferent Unmasking Using Cortical Auditory-Evoked Potentials
… can potentially improve SNRs through Medial Olivocochlear Reflex (MOCR)-mediated unmasking, as supported by animal studies. Nevertheless, it is not clear to what extent the efferent system can enhance SNRs in humans. Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEPs) can serve as a useful tool to …
