Wj. Murphy et al., RELAXATION DYNAMICS OF SPONTANEOUS OTOACOUSTIC EMISSIONS PERTURBED BYEXTERNAL TONES .3. RESPONSE TO A SINGLE TONE AT MULTIPLE SUPPRESSION LEVELS, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 100(6), 1996, pp. 3979-3982
The relaxation dynamics of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) i
nteracting with an external tone have been successfully described usin
g a van der Pol limit cycle oscillator model [Murphy et al., J. Acoust
. Sec. Am. 97, 3702-3710 (1995) and Murphy ct al., J. Acoust. Sec. Am.
. 97, 3711-3720 (1995)]. Data were collected for an SOAE interacting w
ith a single-frequency ipsilateral suppressor. Transitions between dif
ferent suppressed states were achieved by adding or removing signal at
the suppressor frequency. The relaxation dynamics of the van der Pol
model provided a good fit to the data. (C) 1996 Acoustical Society of
