Hearing test must be conducted as early as possible to find out any possible defects. At Senso Speech and Hearing Clinic, the Otoacoustic Emission test is conducted on infants and new-borns which help in finding out deafness. The test is not limited to only babies but can be performed on adults as well to find out hearing loss. Our Cochlea produce particular sound called as ‘Otoacoustic emissions’. We help in conducting test to find out function of cochlea and performance by auditory nerve.
The OAE test is very simple yet effective test which measures echo response with help of microphone from inner ear. It can be conducted on babies as it is comfortable test and starts with playing sounds in baby’s ear with help of a small earphone. Depending on the function of cochlea, the echo is generated or not generated in response to the sound played in ear. If cochlea is impaired, echo is generated against the sound.
