Audiology Question:
Do you know what is "Otoacoustic emissions" (OAE)?
Answer:
"Otoacoustic" emissions are low level, inaudible sounds produced by the outer hair cells of the inner ear. This sound occurs spontaneously or in response to clicks or tones. OAE is normally observed in the normal person but may be absent if the person has mild conductive or cochlear hearing loss.
