| Popis: | The present study aimed to compare TEOAE screening outcomes based on different pass/fail criteria and the outcomes from TEOAE and DPOAE measures in children. For the purpose of the study, the subjects were divided into two age groups: group 1 ( n = 36; mean age 2.7 months, SD 1.2), and group 2 ( n = 29; mean age 37.5 months, SD 16.3). Results indicated that the agreement of screening outcomes between pass/fail criteria for the TEOAE measure and between TEOAE and DPOAE measures was significantly lower for the younger group than for the older group. The greater variability in the younger age group could be partly attributed to the higher physiological noise produced by young infants. Irrespective of the pass/fail criteria used, the findings of the present study suggest that the OAE outcomes for children with weak OAEs or OAEs obscured by excessive noise were most variable. |
