Evidence has recently been obtained (Burns et al., 1984) for several interactions among spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) including intermodulation distortion products, mutual suppression, and noncontiguous-linked SOAEs which apparently share energy between two quasi-stable states. In this paper, we give an updated record of our findings on intermodulation distortion products and linked emissions, and give evidence that the former tend to occur when a distortion product frequency is close to that of a cochlear resonance. Computer simulations of the interactions among van der Pol oscillators, which represent nonlinear active elements in a simplified cochlear model, appear to qualitatively account for some of the observed features of SOAE interactions.
