𦻠What Is an Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) Test?
Did you know your inner ear can actually make sounds? πβ¨
An OAE test measures tiny sounds (called otoacoustic emissions) produced by the inner earβs hair cells when responding to sound.
Itβs a quick, painless, and non-invasive test that helps check how well your inner ear (cochlea) is working especially important for:
β
Newborn hearing screenings
β
Children who canβt respond to standard hearing tests
β
Detecting early signs of hearing loss or inner ear damage
No responses or buttonpressing needed just a few minutes of quiet while the test runs! π©Ίπ‘
