An otoacoustic emission (OAE) is a low-level sound emitted by the cochlea either spontaneously or evoked by an auditory stimulus. Specifically, OAEs provide information related to the function of the outer hair cells (OHC) (Stach, 2003). Over the past 20 years, their use in routine audiological assessments has increased significantly. Today, OAEs are used commonly in the audiological assessment of difficult to test patients, such as persons who cannot or will not volunteer reliable behavioral responses. OAEs are routinely used in the pediatric population to verify behavioral responses and obtain additional frequency-specific information. In addition, they are routinely used in newborn hearing screening programs across the world. OAEs have many benefits: they are easy to obtain, non-invasive, and provide reliable information regarding cochlear status in a relatively short time.
