Abstract

The remarkable specificity and sensitivity of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) in identifying cochlear dysfunction, and the speed and objectivity with which the test can be conducted has made the OAE procedure the 'standard-of-care' in pediatric audiology assessment. Together with the auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), the OAE procedure not only separates sensory from neural impairment, but also facilitates early audiologic diagnosis and management. This article describes some unique applications of the OAE procedure in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of auditory dysfunction.

摘要

耳声发射（OAEs）在识别耳蜗功能障碍方面具有显著的特异性和敏感性，并且该测试能够快速、客观地进行，这使得耳声发射检测程序成为小儿听力评估中的“标准护理”方法。与听觉脑干反应（ABRs）一起，耳声发射检测程序不仅能区分感觉性与神经性损伤，还有助于早期听力诊断和治疗。本文介绍了耳声发射检测程序在听觉功能障碍的诊断、监测和治疗中的一些独特应用。
