Abstract:
In order to verify how age influences in the first days of life the presence of Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (EOAE), the authors tested 52 newborns. They conclude that EOAE is a reliable technique as an early detection test of hearing loss in children. However, a high percentage of false positive cases during the very first days of life advises against its too early utilization.
