Oto-acoustic emissions (OAEs) are an audiometric diagnostic test that allows quick objective measure of hair cell function in the inner ear. It is a reflection of hearing function at the interface of conductive and sensorineural components in the human ear. Unfortunately, it is not commonly used due to the unique expertise and niche equipment required to successfully carry it out. This article is to further shed light about the use of such tests to junior doctors so that such resources can be better utilised. It also reviews the current and possible future applications of OAEs at the frontiers in otology today. |
