How to use OAEs in a Hearing Aid Clinic
⏱️ 15 min | Improve your diagnostic, monitoring, and counselling ability by adding evoked OAEs into your routine adult test battery.
Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are small sounds produced by the cochlea – either measured spontaneously or evoked with a stimulus – which can be valuable in adults as well as children in screening, diagnosing, and monitoring hearing loss in every hearing clinic. OAEs are most commonly used in screening newborns for hearing loss but, in this course, we will review how incorporating OAEs into every adult hearing assessment can add value and diagnostic insight.
