Brainstem auditory evoked potentials and oto-acoustic emissions have been recorded in 30 normal newborns and in 112 infants admitted to a special care baby unit as part of a study to determine whether these tests can be used to detect the hearing impaired infant. All the ears tested in the normal newborns, where the infant was quiet enough to complete the test, produced a brain stem electric response at a stimulus level less than or equal to 53 dB nHL (dB relative to normal hearing) and 96% produced an oto-acoustic emission at the highest level tested of 41 dB nHL. The mean threshold of the oto-acoustic emission in the normal newborns was 17.7 dB lower than the mean brain stem electric response threshold. The range of thresholds were similar. In the special care infants 84% of ears produced a brain stem electric response at a screening level of 43 dB nHL and 81% of ears produced an oto-acoustic emission at a screening level of 31 dB nHL.
对30名正常新生儿和112名入住特殊护理婴儿病房的婴儿进行了脑干听觉诱发电位和耳声发射检测，作为确定这些测试能否用于检测听力受损婴儿的研究的一部分。在正常新生儿中，只要婴儿安静到足以完成测试，所有接受测试的耳朵在刺激强度小于或等于53 dB nHL（相对于正常听力的分贝数）时都会产生脑干电反应，96%的耳朵在最高测试强度41 dB nHL时会产生耳声发射。正常新生儿耳声发射的平均阈值比脑干电反应平均阈值低17.7 dB。阈值范围相似。在特殊护理婴儿中，84%的耳朵在43 dB nHL的筛查强度下产生脑干电反应，81%的耳朵在31 dB nHL的筛查强度下产生耳声发射。
