OAE

Otoacoustic Emissions or OAEs are very soft sounds which are generated in the cochlea in response to a sound stimulus. To record OAEs a healthy middle ear with good sound conduction is required. Presence of OAEs is indicative of normal cochlear amplifier functioning.

Indications-

To screen newborn’s hearing
To rule out Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder
To monitor Ototoxicity
It is one of the important test in Paediatric Audiological Test Battery
To assess suspected Functional Hearing Loss
Tinnitus
Noise or Music Exposure

There are two types of OAEs which we use in clinical settings.

1. Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) are acoustic events generated by the outer hair cells in response to a transient click. TEOAEs record responses to broad spectrum stimulus.

2. Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) are result of an intermodulation distortion produced by outer hair cells in response to two pure tone stimuli that are nearby in frequency. DPOAEs are frequency specific indicator of outer hair cell functioning.
