Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE)

Otoacoustic Emissions test evaluates the function of the outer hair cells in the inner ear (cochlea). A small probe placed in the ear canal emits sounds and records the echo returned from the cochlea. It does not require active participation from the patient, making it ideal for newborn and infant screening. The test is painless and quick. It helps detect early signs of sensorineural hearing loss. OAE is a reliable and objective method for hearing assessment.
