Abstract

Otoacoustic emissions have great promise for use in clinical tests of the functional status ofouter hair cells, which represent cochlear structures that make a major contribution to the hearingprocess. A substantial literature is available concerning the evaluation of outer hair cell function by transiently evokedotoacoustic emissions. However, relatively little attention has been focused on the benefits of testingwith distortion-product otoacoustic emissions. The purpose of this presentation is to provideknowledge of the principal advantages offered by distortion-product emissions testing.
