  2. Otoacoustic Emissions Test(OAE) The OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions Test) evaluation is often part of a newborn hearing screening program. Its purpose is to evaluate cochlear status and hair cell function. This test record the sound of the ear and the sound which is recorded is produced itself by the ear. It can help to detect sensorineural hearing loss and call attention to hearing disorders affecting the pathway to the inner ear.

  3. OAE Screening Method • An initial screening of both ears on every child (birth to three years of age). • Any ear not passing the initial (1st OAE) screening is screened again (2nd OAE) . • If the ear does not pass the 2nd OAE screen, the child must be evaluated by a health care provider to determine whether there is an outer ear or middle ear problem (blockage, fluid, structural anomaly, etc.) • If your ear was not able to pass the Otoacoustic Emissions rescreen, the child should be referred to a pediatric audiologist for a diagnostic evaluation.

  4. Types of Otoacoustic Emission • Transient otoacoustic emissions (TOAE) or transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) – Sounds emitted in response to an acoustic stimulus of very short duration; usually clicks but can be tone-bursts. • The second one is distortion product the otoacoustic emission – Sounds emitted in response to 2 simultaneous sound of different frequencies.

  5. Otoacoustic Emissions Test (OAE) Device Systems:The Otoacoustic Emissions devices Are “screeners”. Utility:The clinical sense of Otoacoustic Emissions is that they only occur in a normal cochlea with normal or near normal hearing.
