摘要
Due to its low intensity, measurement of transient-evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) requires repeated stimulation. When any acoustic artifact occurs, an entire click interval is typically abandoned. Here, a point-wise artifact rejection strategy is proposed, and it partially preserves the data when artifacts occur in an interval. At the noisiest setting (−46 dB signal-to-noise ratio) the proposed strategy retains four times more data and thereby reduces the root mean square signal estimation error by over 60%. Consequently, the group delay can be calculated more accurately. These findings might facilitate TEOAE measurement at home or in other noisy environments in the future.
