Otoacoustic Emissions Testing Policy
... Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are low-intensity sounds emitted by functioning outer hair cells of the cochlea. OAEs are measured by presenting a series of very brief clicks to the ear through a probe that is inserted in the outer third of the ear canal. The probe contains a loudspeaker that generates ...

This higher prevalence of abnormal middle ear status results in poorer high frequency hearing which could potentially lead to challenges in academics. It may also lead to di ...

Noise Induced Hearing Loss and Audiometry

The quality of the OAEs can be affected by poor stimulus delivery as well as internal and ambient noise. These factors can be minimized with proper equipment cont ...
