Background and purpose: Stimulus–evoked otoacoustic emission (OAE) is generated by the outer hair cells (OHCs) and high levels of noise will highly damage these cells. Therefore, even a mild loss in OHCs could alter the generation of OAE. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the pure tone threshold, Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission (DPOAE) amplitude in industrial workers exper...
