However, the relationship between DPOAEs and the audiogram is unclear. This study investigated this relationship by determining how well DPOAE levels can predict the audiogram among individuals with clinically normal hearing. Additionally, the impacts of age, noise exposure, and the perception of tinnitus on the ability of DPOAE levels to predict the audiogram were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Suprathreshold DPOAE levels from 1 to 10 kHz and pure-tone thresholds from 0.25 to 16 kHz were measured in 366 ears from 194 young adults (19\u201335 years old) with clinically normal audiograms and middle ear function. The measured DPOAE levels at all frequencies were used to predict pure-tone thresholds at each frequency. Participants were grouped by age, self-reported noise exposure\/Veteran status, and self-report of tinnitus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Including DPOAE levels in the pure-tone threshold prediction model improved threshold predictions at all frequencies from 0.25 to 16 kHz compared with a model based only on sample mean pure-tone thresholds, but these improvements were modest.

However, prediction accuracy varied based on participant characteristics. On average, predicted pure-tone thresholds were better than measured thresholds among Veterans, individuals with tinnitus, and the oldest age group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These results indicate a complex relationship between DPOAE levels and the audiogram. Underestimation of pure-tone thresholds for some groups suggests that additional factors other than OHC damage may impact thresholds among individuals within these categories. These findings suggest that DPOAE levels and pure-tone thresholds may differ in terms of how well they reflect subclinical OHC dysfunction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplemental Material<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.23641\/asha.13564745\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.23641\/asha.13564745<\/jats:ext-link>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1044\/2020_aja-20-00056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,19]],"date-time":"2021-01-19T17:47:56Z","timestamp":1611078476000},"page":"854-869","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Subclinical Auditory Dysfunction: Relationship Between Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions and the Audiogram"],"prefix":"10.1044","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1660-5322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naomi F.","family":"Bramhall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"VA RR&amp;D National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, VA Portland Health Care System, OR"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head &amp; Neck Surgery, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Garnett P.","family":"McMillan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA RR&amp;D National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, VA Portland Health Care System, OR"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head &amp; Neck Surgery, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy N.","family":"Mashburn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA RR&amp;D National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research, VA Portland Health Care System, OR"},{"name":"Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Knoxville"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1310","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","unstructured":"American National Standards Institute.
