Discussion

Observational analysis reveals modulation of DPOAEs by selective attention in noise, indicating inner ear involvement.

Selective attention to speech in noise affects DPOAEs, suggesting the inner ear contributes to audio processing.
DPOAEs linked to voiced speech were significantly reduced when the voice was attended, highlighting active processes.
The cochlea's ability to amplify sound is crucial for understanding competing voices in noisy environments.
Results indicate early inner ear involvement in speech processing; external validation needed for broader implications.

Steinebach et al. (2025) studied this question.
