Abstract

A number of reports have described a relatively high incidence of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) in recordings made from the sealed human ear canal. Our attempt to detect similar emissions in 122 presumably normal-hearing ears from 61 monkeys revealed SOAEs in 5% of the primates and 2.5% of the ears tested.
