Otoacoustic Emissions: Reducing and Preventing Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
The biggest benefit that OAEs provide over audiograms is that changes in OAEs may be detected long before there are changes in hearing.
Tests are needed that enable audiologists to catch hearing loss before it becomes clinically significant and—better still—stop a hearing loss from ever occurring. An otoacoustic emission (OAE) test may be the solution.
