RR840 - Optimum test conditions and variability of otoacoustic emission testing in individuals with normal hearing
This study investigates issues important for the potential usefulness and practical application of OAE testing within an occupational health surveillance programme. Before this technique can be used within health surveillance, it is important to understand how reliable the measurements are and the level of change that could be detected over time within individuals. As any test of hearing functi...

INTRODUCTION The otoacoustic emissions test is an essential tool in the evaluation of auditory function, since it allows the early detection of cochlear damage of occupational origin. OBJECTIVE To present a review of the literature and analyze the effectiveness of the clinical application of the otoacoustic emissions test in workers exposed to noise.

متن کاملHearing Abnormality in Neonate Intensive Care Unit (NICU),Yazd-Iran
Introduction: Hearing impairment and hearing loss are kinds of latent handicap in children. Any abnormality in hearing can affect different aspects of life. Otoacoustic emissions have been accepted as an appropriate method for screening of hearing loss in neonates. In this study we assessed the hearing status of infants admitted in ICU wards in Yazd.Materials and methods: This was a cross-secti...
متن کاملBasal cochlear lesions result in increased amplitude of otoacoustic emissions.
We have measured the changes in transient otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) during and after ototoxic amikacin treatment in an animal (chinchilla) model. TEOAE and DPOAE were recorded from 6 adult chinchillas over a 6-week time course starting just before a 5-day or 7-day treatment period with amikacin sulphate (400 mg/kg/day, i.m.). After fina...
متن کاملContralateral Ear Occlusion for Improving the Reliability of Otoacoustic Emission Screening Tests
Newborn hearing screening is an established healthcare standard in many countries and testing is feasible using otoacoustic emission (OAE) recording. It is well documented that OAEs can be suppressed by acoustic stimulation of the ear contralateral to the test ear. In clinical otoacoustic emission testing carried out in a sound attenuating booth, ambient noise levels are low such that the effer...
