Also known as: OAEs evaluation, Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emssions (TEOAE), or Distortion Product Ototacoustic Emissions (DPOAE).
The Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) evaluation is used to find out how the inner ear (i.e., the cochlea) is functioning. OAEs are commonly used in Universal Newborn Hearing Screenings (UNHS) and as a part of a comprehensive hearing test for patients of all ages.
A small earphone, or probe, is placed in the patient’s ear. The probe puts sounds into the ear and measures the sounds that come back. The patient does not need to do or say anything during the test. The Audiologist doing the test can see the results on a monitor screen to interpret the results of the responses.
No special preparation is needed for this test.
There are no risk factors related to this test.
