1 Utility of Standard DPOAEs in the Evaluation of the Normal-Hearing Tinnitus Patient
2 Background Shiomi et al, 1997 (Journal of the Association of Research In Otology): In comparison to normal-hearing and otologically normal subjects (including no tinnitus), DPOAE amplitudes were consistently reduced among tinnitus patients, even in those with audiometrically normal hearing. Hall, 2 (Handbook of Otoacoustic Emissions):... a clear pattern has emerged. OAEs are abnormal, or not detectable, in the frequency region of the tinnitus, even among persons with clinically normal audiograms. Onishi et al, 24 (International Tinnitus Journal): The authors conclude that DPOAEs constitute a useful audiological method for evaluation of patients complaining of tinnitus. [61.3% of normal-hearing tinnitus subjects demonstrated DPOAE amplitudes below the 5 th percentile compared to only 3.6% in the control group.]
3 Background Granjeiro et al, 28 (Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery):... DPOAE were abnormal in 68.4% of [tinnitus subjects] and in 5 of [non-tinnitus subjects]. Paglialonga et al, 21 (Auris Nasus Larynx):... abnormal OAEs, in particular at higher frequencies, [was observed] in tinnitus subjects with normal hearing sensitivity... outer hair cell dysfunction... might thus be assumed in normal-hearing tinnitus subjects. Jastrebof & Hazell, 24 (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy: Implementing the Neurophysiological Model): Approximately 2 of patients with tinnitus have normal hearing. This is because changes too small to be detectable on a standard audiogram, if localized, can result in heterogeneity and trigger compensatory reactions of the auditory system, resulting in tinnitus.
4 Research Question & Data Collection We were interested in evaluating the clinical utility of standard DPOAE measures during routine audiological evaluation of tinnitus patients with normal hearing through the standard audiometric test range of.25-8 khz, so we asked: o Can standard DPOAE measures differentiate between normal-hearing tinnitus patients and normal-hearing non-tinnitus patients? Data Collection o VA Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) was reviewed for patients referred for primary complaint of tinnitus between 1 Jan Dec 211 (12 months). o o All subjects had normal hearing thresholds (< 25 db HL) at all frequencies.25-8 khz. All subjects DPOAEs were measured using a standard clinical Bio Logic Scout DPOAE protocol.

7 DPOAE Pass-Fail Criteria Most absolute DPOAE interpretation criteria have been published for hearing screening purposes rather than for determination of normal OHC status. Most judgments of abnormal DPOAE in normal hearing tinnitus patients have been based on comparison to normal-hearing non-tinnitus patients rather than absolute values However, there are exceptions as denoted by * below.

35 Discussion and Conclusions The current data suggest that the criteria which result in the largest number of identified DPOAE abnormalities are: Amplitudes less than 6 db above 2 SD above the noise floor Criterion can be calculated easily by each facility for its own specific protocol. Criterion is therefore appropriate for the specific VA population and protocol being used. Amplitudes below the Vanderbilt Data Set 5 th percentile. Criterion optimally should be applied only when the facility uses the identical protocol. Criterion may not be appropriate for VA population. CAVEAT: Neither criterion has been applied to a normal-hearing, agematched, non-tinnitus VA population for determination of its specificity.
36 Criteria Specificity: Examples Granjeiro et al, 28 (Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery): abnormal in 68.4% of WNL tinnitus subjects and in 5 of WNL non-tinnitus subjects. Onishi et al, 24 (International Tinnitus Journal): abnormal in 61.3% of WNL tinnitus subjects and in 3.6% of WNL non-tinnitus subjects. Criterion: 6 db > (2SD > NF) Left Ear Right Ear 6 db > (2SD > NF) Left Ear Right Ear 6 db > (2SD > NF) Left Ear Right Ear 6 db > (2SD > NF)

38 Discussion and Conclusions Most DPOAE interpretation criteria have been published for hearing screening purposes rather than for determination of OHC status although exceptions exist. Most studies that have explored DPOAEs in normal-hearing tinnitus patients provide comparisons to normal-hearing non-tinnitus subjects rather than absolute norms for determination of normal or abnormal OHC motility. Although DPOAE equipment may overlay normative criteria on DP-grams for reference, the specific population and protocol comprising those norms may differ significantly from actual patients and the clinical protocol being utilized. Obtaining and utilizing normative data obtained for specific DPOAE device(s) in specific facilities is optimal but difficult to achieve in the VA system.
39 Discussion and Conclusions Various criteria result in substantial differences in the identification of DPOAE abnormalities. Although abnormal DPOAEs were identified at various frequencies for most of these normalhearing tinnitus subjects, the inconsistency of those abnormalities among subjects, combined with the fact that abnormal DPOAEs among normal-hearing non-tinnitus are regularly observed, renders DPOAEs minimally useful, if at all, in the routine evaluation of normal-hearing tinnitus patients. In fact, if abnormal DPOAEs may be observed in 5 of normal-hearing non-tinnitus subjects and 68% of age-matched normal-hearing tinnitus subjects (Granjeiro et al, 28), standard DPOAEs may be unsuitable for routine use in the differentiation of normal-hearing tinnitus patients from normal-hearing non-tinnitus patients.
