Abstract

We conducted auditory test of 132 high risk infants by using both otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) screening. The result showed that the passing rate was 88.3% (233/264 ears) for OAE and 92% (243/264 ears) for ABR. The sensitivity and specificity of OAE in comparison to ABR were 90.5% (19/21 ears) and 95% (230/243 ears) respectively. The mean test time was 3 min for OAE and 30 min for ABR. We therefore conclude that OAE is a highly sensitive, reliable and convenient method to be used for paediatric hearing screening.
