Abstract
Laserinterferometrically measured distortion product otoacoustic emissions provide a means of assessing hearing threshold with high accuracy. It is shown that together with the measurement of the vibration response of the tympanic membrane to sound, a model of the middle ear can be fitted automatically to a forward and a reverse transfer function. The model can be used to estimate the complete transfer function of the middle ear and thus provides a potential means for differential diagnosis of middle- and inner-ear pathologies.
